Velor was also made on the basis of silk, like velvet, and the pile was from the same silk. The fabric was decorated with interweaving of silver and gold threads or expensive braid. Velor became a more affordable fabric, but nevertheless, it continued to be among the most expensive fabrics.

The velor on silk was followed by even cheaper materials - woolen and cotton velor.
