HACKNEY EMPIRE Velvet - Midnight

The velvet has a deep, rich pile that catches the light beautifully, and the little animal illustrations scattered across it are subtle enough to feel elegant rather than childish. I used it for accent pillows in my reading nook and they look way more expensive than what I paid.

I bought a yard of this to reupholster a small footstool and the velvet pile is genuinely plush, not that thin synthetic stuff. The midnight black makes the little animal characters subtle until you get close, which is exactly the look I wanted.

The little animal illustrations stitched into the velvet are what sold me — foxes and rabbits peeking out, and they read clearly without looking childish. I used it to recover a footstool and the pile feels genuinely plush, not that thin synthetic stuff.
