Busy Bee Charcoal Velvet Fabric

#WMF-318-08VD

Busy Bee Charcoal Velvet Fabric celebrates the industrious charm of the honeybee through an intricately hand-drawn pattern of trees, foliage and hidden golden bees. Inspired by the botanical heritage of Victorian prints, its detailed composition creates a rich, tapestry-like landscape across a slate grey velvet ground. Delicate layers of charcoal and misty grey offer quiet contrast, while the velvet’s soft sheen catches the light to reveal depth and movement within each leaf and wing.

This dark, coordinating botanical fabric brings a refined energy to curtains, cushions and upholstery, pairing effortlessly with both modern eclectic and classic interiors. Available with three flame-retardant treatment levels—None FR, Standard FR (BS 5852:1), and Crib 5 (BS 5852:2006 Clause 11)—it’s suitable for residential and commercial use, including upholstery and soft furnishings. A luxurious and practical choice for elegant, nature-led interiors.

Living with velvet

Pile direction: all pieces must be cut in the same direction or they will reflect light differently and read as two colours.

Shading: velvet naturally appears lighter or darker depending on your viewing angle. This is inherent to the fabric, not a fault.

Grinning: digital printing sits on the pile surface. Stretching over a tight frame can reveal the base cloth beneath. A natural characteristic, not a fault.

Upholstery projects: please consult your maker before ordering to confirm suitability, quantity and cutting plan.

FABRIC — Delivery & Returns

£13 UK delivery. We print and cut every length ourselves, Monday to Thursday, within 4 working days, then dispatch it tracked for next-working-day delivery. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands, offshore islands and some remote postcodes may take a little longer, and any surcharge is calculated and shown at checkout.

International delivery takes 2 to 10 working days, sent tracked and Delivery Duty Paid, so all taxes and duties are included in the price you pay with no surprise charges on arrival.

Every length is cut and finished to order, so fabric cannot be returned or exchanged unless faulty. We always recommend ordering a sample first. Anything faulty or damaged, tell us within 14 days of delivery with clear photographs and we'll arrange a replacement or full refund at no cost.

Please inspect your fabric fully before cutting or making, as we can't accept claims after use. Full delivery and returns details
