Devoré velvets originate from Europe where the manufacturing process was created during the 1920s. A gel containing sodium hydrogen sulphate is applied to velvet containing a blend of cellulose fiber (such as viscose, cotton, or rayon) and protein-based fiber such as silk. The chemical gel dissolves the cellulose fibers, leaving behind the silk, which appears as a semi-transparent gauze against the more solid fabric blend that is untouched by the gel. The term Devoré means “devoured” in French.
