Tatiana is a plain velvet with an unusually honest construction: a cotton and viscose ground carrying a pile of viscose and linen, so the surface has the crush and shadow of a classic velvet without the glassy uniformity of purely synthetic cloth. The linen in the pile breaks the light slightly, giving each panel a lived-in, patinated quality straight off the roll. Rated at 50,000 rubs, it upholsters well, and it makes curtains with real weight in the hem.
