Historically, velvet has been associated with nobility and royalty due to its rich texture and luster. With its soft surface and deep color palette, velvet has long been loved for its luxurious aesthetic. When used in packaging, it adds a touch of elegance and exclusivity, making it an ideal choice for premium products.
