What is velvet
Let’s start with the beginning, the material.
Velvet is a kind of woven fabric made by weaving two sets of yarns that are then cut by the middle. This creates a dense, soft pile that gives velvet its unique texture. It can be made from a variety of materials: cotton, silk and synthetic materials.
Our laboratory uses synthetic fiber.
A tactile experience
The texture is extremely soft and plush making it a real pleasure for the tactile sense. Couples will love to caress this material with the hand!
A Stain Sensitive Material
The textile and texture give a strong capacity of absorbing any liquid. In other words, the downside of such texts is that it can be easily stained. Married couples choosing it will need to be given great care of it!
High quality velvet photo album
A good album is not only an album offering nice colors and high-definition images, it’s a product that is designed to pass the ages.
Sturdy paper and strong binding
If each cover is different, the inner part of our albums are all created in the same way.
We use the resistant Fujifilm RC photo paper. It’s a print that not only has a high range of color and a super-high definition, but it’s also paper covered by a thin layer of plastic providing resistance against scratch and stain. Indeed, you can clean the paper if you drop any spill on it.
We size big
We decided on a 12×12 size, which allows us to print photos in large format.
Pages and photos
Each book starts with 40 pages and can be upgraded up to 80 pages (120 photos to 240 photos).
Handmade
Each photo-book is handmade by a craftsman in Europe controlling a high quality throughout all production chains.
A Box for protection
To make your albums last at the time you need to protect it. Thus we include a box, made with the same material as the cover.
Custom Cover
We can customize each of our cover. Not only do we offer plenty of colors to choose from, but also the velvet can engrave with lasers to create.
Gliding
In addition to the names engraved, you can add some colors to the edge of the pages. That’s the gliding. Colors are gold, silver, shades of pinks, lavender, red and copper.

Conclusion: Why are velvet photo albums a great keepsake for a family photo album?
Unique soft touch experience
Is texture creating a unique experience for the viewer. There is synesthesia between the soft aspect of the material and the soft nostalgia of memory.
That’s a texture that would work as well for baby albums.
