Velvet Revolver

Luxury and class. That's velvet all right. Clearly I do not have any velvet in my possession. No, no, no....I'm plenty classy and plenty luxurious. The main reason anything velvet related is not welcomed in my home is because cat hair has this tendency to stick to stuff. Especially "stuff" that has a nubby texture.

Not gonna happen.

For non-pet owners or pet owners who have given up on the fur battle, velvet is great in small doses, mixed with prints, thrown in otherwise casual spaces to "jazz" them up, and it's especially great in come-look-at-me colors like the ones below.
