At Velcord Textiles, our mission has always been to create fashion that leaves a positive impact on our planet. When we set out to redefine corduroy fabric, we knew we had to do it with sustainability at the core. That’s how our groundbreaking innovation, Corduroy from PET Bottles, came to life. As a team, we were thrilled to embrace the challenge of repurposing PET bottles into something both stylish and eco-friendly. Our dedication to sustainability led us to obtain the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification, ensuring that our Corduroy from PET Bottles adheres to the highest environmental and social standards. Witnessing the transformation of PET bottles into soft and durable corduroy was truly inspiring, and it affirmed our belief in the power of sustainable fashion. Seeing our vision become a reality, we are proud to offer our customers a product that reflects our values and principles. With Velcord’s Recycled PET Bottle Corduroy, we invite you to join us on this journey towards a greener future – where fashion can be an agent of positive change. Together, we can create a more sustainable world, one garment at a time.

Corduroy and Velveteen are two remarkable fabrics that have left an indelible mark on the world of fashion and design. With their distinct textures and versatile characteristics, they have become beloved choices for various applications. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Corduroy and Velveteen so special and why they continue to be treasured by designers and consumers alike. Corduroy: The Textured Classic Corduroy is a fabric known for its raised parallel ridges, often referred to as “wales.” These wales are achieved by weaving additional sets of yarn into the base fabric, resulting in a unique ribbed texture. The width of the wales can vary, with “wide-wale” Corduroy featuring fewer ridges per inch and “narrow-wale” Corduroy having more, each creating a distinct visual effect. Apart from its rugged and textured appeal, Corduroy is also appreciated for its durability, making it an excellent choice for various types of clothing. From casual jackets and pants to skirts, Corduroy adds a touch of timeless charm to everyday outfits. Velveteen: The Luxurious Elegance Velveteen, often mistaken for velvet due to its similar appearance, is a fabric loved for its plush and velvety surface. Typically made from cotton, Velveteen boasts a short, dense pile that exudes luxury and sophistication. Its softness and opulent feel have made it a preferred choice for elegant formal wear and accessories. Whether in dresses, blazers, vests, or home decor accents, Velveteen adds an instant touch of refinement and elegance to any design. Notably more affordable than velvet, Velveteen offers the luxurious look without compromising on quality. Timeless Appeal and Modern Versatility Corduroy and Velveteen fabrics effortlessly bridge the gap between classic and contemporary styles, making them versatile and adaptable fabrics. From vintage-inspired designs to modern-day fashion trends, Corduroy and Velveteen continue to shine as fabrics that stand the test of time. So, the next time you encounter the textured charm of Corduroy or the luxurious softness of Velveteen, take a moment to appreciate the enduring allure and versatility that these fabrics bring to the world of textiles. With their distinct qualities and adaptability, Corduroy and Velveteen remain cherished choices for designers seeking to create pieces that are both timeless and stylish. Velcord Textiles is one of the pioneers in manufacturing Corduroy and Velveteen fabrics with a legacy and expertise over forty years.
