It is the year 1967. After five happy years of marriage in New York with Alberto and their young son, Anna Ribera returns to Spain to take her project Velvet to the next level. She and Alberto had been managing all things Velvet from across the ocean and, together with their best friends and partners, had made a name for Velvet as the number one address in the world of fashion and innovation. Now they decide to take the next step and turn their reputation into a franchise, first at home, then abroad. The first step is opening shop in the other great Spanish city, Barcelona, on its world famous promenade, the Passeig de Gracia. There, the second Velvet Fashion Store is about to open its gates, managed by Ana's good friend Clara who had made it up the career ladder from seamstress to directorial assistant in the Madrid Velvet years.

Trivia & behind the scenes

/
Origins

Velvet Colección is a spin-off of the Velvet series, this time centered on the character Clara Montesinos played by Marta Hazas, who had already participated in all four seasons of the original series, while the previous lead Paula Echevarría (Ana Ribera) takes a back seat.

Origins

According to producer Teresa Valdés, the ending of Velvet left a sense of incompleteness with the actors, which motivated the development of this spin-off announced in February 2017 under the title Velvet Colección.

Casting

Paula Echevarría was initially supposed to appear only in the first two episodes of the spin-off, while remaining open to the idea of a later return to the series.

Casting

José Sacristán returned in June 2018 to once again play his character Emilio, who died at the beginning of the first season, but this time in the form of a ghost.

Casting

For the final episode aired in late 2019, several emblematic actors from the parent series returned to reprise their roles, namely Miguel Ángel Silvestre (Alberto), Maxi Iglesias (Max), Paula Echevarría (Ana) and Cecilia Freire (Rita).

Reception

The series was renewed for a second season as early as October 2017 thanks to good ratings, but Movistar+ ultimately cancelled the filming of a third season in March 2019 to replace it with a special closing television film aired at Christmas 2019.

Reception

In Italy, broadcast on Rai 1 following the success of Velvet, the first season of Velvet Colección performed well, but the second season was cancelled after only two episodes aired and then published solely on the RaiPlay platform.

Reception

Marta Hazas received the Best Television Actress award at the Iberian Mount Awards 2017, and the series was also awarded in the Best Drama Series category.
