Our Kasai Velvet takes inspiration from a woman’s overskirt made by the Kuba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kuba textiles are a long-standing tradition, significant as emblems of rank and noted for the complexity of their design and surface decoration. Featuring a raffia tabby weave, The Met’s textile is transformed into a unique, soft velvet.
Kasai Velvet adapts the geometric and linear motifs on the original and for a luxe and multi-dimensional textile. Its cotton-and-viscose composition and varying pile affords both a shine and matte effect.
