Well, I am really interested if you succeed to get a 100% silk
velvet. Me and my sister import silk fabrics from China to EU and we
visited several factories that were specialized in making silk
velvets, but they told us they only do rayon pile and silk backing,
no matter what amount of meters you offer.
Another interesting issue is that if you don't buy directly from a
factory, the dealer are able to tell you anything - they claim a
polyester to be silk and so on. So if you're not very skilled at
recognizing silk, you may be cheated. And maybe...some companies
don't realize or realize too late. So, beware. We always check our
fabrics for weight and silk percentage.

Thanks - you pretty much confirm what I suspected, but I'll wait for
the final report from my "spy" on the specific seller.
