The first thing I would do is vacuum it using a attachment with a brush that you can brush the velvet. I would repeat this every few days, noting whether the spots reappear. I would also thoroughly vacuum the brush after each use! Are you able to detect a musty odor? In that case, you may want to spray a cloth with mildew cleaner and place in a closed box with the pillow. Be careful not to let this cloth touch the pillow. It took a while for the problem to develop, so it may take a while to rehabilitate your pillow. But with some TLC, I think you can save it.
Let us know how it goes!
