Elk Velvet
Pear
Elk is a luxurious Italian velvet, with an exquisitely soft handle and subtle lustre created by European masters with an extensive knowledge handed down through generations since the 1890’s. This is an original Jardan favourite with an extensive library of colour that spans from dusty alluring pastels to rich opulent jewel tones. This fabric works beautifully on armchairs, sofas and ottomans, as the gentle lustre of the pile plays with the light and the texture adds a depth and richness of colour that will create a sense of atmosphere and grandeur. Cotton velvet is the most durable and long lasting of all velvets, and the short pile ensures minimal movement and bruising on your chosen piece.
Composition: 93% cotton, 7% modal (Pile 100% Cotton)
Width: 143cm
GSM: 450
Martindale: 50,000
Light Fastness: 3-4 (dark shades 4)
Styling Notes
- A gentle lustre creates deep colours in short pile velvet for minimal movement and striking colour palette, with a soft, rich handle.
- Suits most Jardan product, wears well but can show some “splitting” along deep seams and can bruise from extended pressure.
- Well suited to armchairs, sofas and ottomans
Care
Dry Clean Only
To protect your upholstered furniture and keep it looking fresh, follow these care tips:
Avoid Direct or Reflected Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading and deterioration. Keep your furniture away from windows, or use blinds/curtains to block harsh rays.
Regular Vacuuming: Use a vacuum with a non-rotating upholstery head to gently remove dust and dirt. If not removed regularly, dust and dirt can accumulate on the fabric. Over time, these particles can react with UV light, leading to fabric bleaching and causing the fabric to fade. To prevent this, it's essential to vacuum your furniture regularly and ensure any dirt or dust is promptly removed. Frequent vacuuming will also help remove loose fibres and foreign particles, which can reduce pilling (those little fuzzy balls that form on the surface).
Maintain Fabric Loft: For boucle and pile fabrics, regular vacuuming is essential to maintain the loft and prevent matting or flattening.
Rotate Cushions: If possible, rotate your cushions to ensure even wear. This will prevent certain areas from wearing out faster than others, keeping your furniture looking balanced.
Spill Management: Clean spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing) with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as it can damage the fabric. For tough stains, it’s best to consult a professional cleaning service to ensure safe and effective stain removal
Pilling: Pilling can occur as a result of normal daily wear and should not be considered a defect. Fibre pills form when loose fibres on the surface of the fabric become tangled. These pills can easily be removed using a battery-operated pilling tool, which is available at most haberdashery or fabric stores. Regular care can help minimize pilling and maintain appearance
Dye Transfer: Dye transfer is another consideration for fabric care. This occurs when dye from an external source, such as unwashed new dark-coloured denim or raw indigo garments, is transferred onto upholstery fabric. To avoid dye transfer, ensure any new dark fabrics are washed before coming into contact with your furniture.
Fabric Protection: To prolong the life of your fabric, we highly recommend having it protected by Premium Surface Protection (PSP). Please be aware that fabric protection methods can vary significantly in both their effectiveness and environmental impact. PSP is the only method endorsed by Jardan. Using an alternative fabric protection method may void your fabric warranty.

By following these tips, you can prolong the life and appearance of your furniture.
