History
Soprarizzo velvet is one of the most ancient and complex types to make by hand consisting of two layers of velvet: the cut velvet on top, which defines the pattern, and the curly velvet below, serving as the ground. Each millimeter of the top level is cut by hand by specialized weavers. This production method is still carried out by hand on 18 looms of the 18th century, which previously belonged to the silk guild of the republic of Venice.
