Louvre's new material (7)
I believe the answer is:
velours
'material' is the definition.
(I know that velours is a type of material)
'louvre's new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'louvres' is an anagram of 'VELOURS'.
(Another definition for velours that I've seen is " Fabric with a thick soft finish".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
