I have dealt with swatches from the second company. They will tell you that their producers tell them it is 100% silk velvet. But do a bleach test and you will find as I did that the velvet is a regular silk/rayon velvet. I told them that, and they still wrote back that they stand by what their producers tell them, and that their burn test shows otherwise (note I did a bleach test, too, not just a burn test). I am sure they make more money selling silk making false claims like that.
So, unless they actually have gotten in real 100% silk velvet in the past few years, I would order a swatch and do a bleach test first on any silk velvet to confirm their claims before placing a full order.
