Simultaneously soft and pleasant to the touch, it drapes beautifully to create concise and layered compositions. That’s why the new velvet collection from Eustergerling was named after the wind god Zephyr.
It came in spring, with rains and storms, thunderclouds, and crashing on the west coast with sea waves. He was known to the ancient Greeks as willful, unstable, unruly, unstoppable. Rapid Zephyr, the hero of Homeric songs, golden-haired god and beloved of nymphs, free and beautiful, he was gaining full strength to the summer solstice. But in the east, Zephyrus was something else entirely – a light, warm breeze that gently touched the skin of Roman women.
50000 cycles on the Martindale test makes velvet suitable not only for drapes, but also for bedspreads and cushions and furniture upholstery.
