Satin and velvet are both luxurious fabrics, but they differ in texture and construction. Satin is a smooth, glossy fabric typically made from silk, polyester, or nylon, characterized by its shiny surface and soft feel. In contrast, velvet is a thicker, plush fabric with a soft, raised pile, often made from cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers, giving it a rich and opulent appearance. While satin is often used for evening wear and lingerie, velvet is commonly found in upholstery and formal attire.
Velvet is a woven fabric where the softness comes from weaving cut threads evenly throughout the fabric. If you magnify it, it winds up looking a bit like shag carpeting. The original velvet fabrics were made for nobility from very soft materials like Cashmere wool. Silk is also used to make very expensive types of velvet since the fibers are so soft but also tough. You can get velvet made from these kind of exotic natural materials, but most natural-fiber velvet is now made with cotton. Velvet can also be made from synthetic fibers, but may not be quite as soft as that made from natural fibers.
