The door seemed opened for even Ana and Alberto to come back. I wasn't sure if Alberto was going to resell the store or not, seemed like he might be hiring a mangagement company to run it. It felt like there were a lot of mixed messages. He's going to give the employees housing, but Raul was talking about having to find another job. Why can't they rent or use Ana's other location as a workshop in the meantime? I was surprised by Carlos saying he'll find Alberto and Ana. I thought the book would be closed on that and it seemed he has gone all Cristina. Cristina is still out there too, whether she lives near Barbara or not. I don't think Ana would leave Madrid if she knew Rita was sick again. For some reason, I see Ana and Alberto returning to Madrid after a year or two. Yeah it seemed very open to interpretation. Like if someone wanted to come back and continue the show they could which is weird since everyone keeps saying it's the end. I wish the writers brought everything to a firm conclusion. I was surprised by Carlos saying he would find Ana too. Like give it up man! She donwantchu. Why do you care at this point? And with Rita being sick, she and Pedro would have to come clean if it became terminal. It seems like they didn't want to commit to anything. I don't think there was one story that was given a firm ending or seemed irreversible. I kept hearing Ana and Alberto's story was over, but there were a lot of things open ended with them too. With Velvet it was so vague that what Alberto said could be interpreted 3 ways, that he would be selling, hiring someone to run it in absence or going to close it. He never said why he didn't want to run it and if Cristina and Enrique are still partners. I assume this was done on purpose. Given what Carlos said, it seemed to be foreshadowing. Ana didn't find out about the letters either. Carlos appears to have a burning hatred for Alberto like Cristina does for Ana. Rita being sick and keeping quiet was also left hanging. They made such a big deal saying this was the end, but it didn't feel like one at all.

I'm re-watching the scenes and it looks like Alberto re-purchased Velvet only to sell again. After the fire Marco and his dad no longer have any interest in it. So Velvet's future is left uncertain because Alberto's going to find a new buyer that can bring life to it, it just won't be him. Mateo's returning to the magazine. But in the meantime Alberto secured housing for the workers since it was destroyed in the fire. That's why Blanca and Emilio were saying they didn't know what the future held but toasted to it making the best of it or something like that. Theoretically there could be a spin-off as to what happens after Alberto and Ana leave for NYC. It's weird because why would Enrique and Cristina give up their shares so quickly? In the last episode Marco, Enrique and Christina met with the new buyer who was really acting on Alberto's behalf and they sold the store together. I felt that no matter how many times they tried to thwart Ana she still came out on top...the magazine article, having her picture show up at the pret-a-porter show, the vandalism at Ana's store so they just decided to sell. I understood that Alberto was going to hire a management team to reinvent the store and bring it to the forefront. Good opportunity for a spinoff with some of the cast returning such as Pedro and Rita, Dona Blanca, Jonas as head designer, Clara. And visits from Alberto and Ana....wishful thinking. In the finale of Downton Abby the writers closed all the plots and left you satisfied with its ending. Velvet writers left a lot of plots open perhaps to leave the door open for a spinoff or as another poster mentioned a couple of special episodes to clear them up. Regardless this series outshone any of the other series that I loved. I am very sad that is over. Now I have to keep looking for the sub-titled series be released on DVD suitable for North American DVD players because I would definitely want to buy it. I also hope that Netflix keeps it around for a long time so I can watch it over and over! That said the last wedding was magical and it left me happy that finally they are together. Thanks to all concerned who worked on the subs for us especially VV and Alfi. May your Christmas be Merry and may 2017 be happy, healthy and prosperous.

I just finished watching the final episode and I felt like they wrapped up this series fairly quickly. Two weddings didn't quite feel right but it is what it is..This was a great episode!!..Like season one and two.rita and petro scenes were very sincere. I cried every time they were together! I also felt they left everyone characters open except for ana and Alberto.but they certainly delivered exceptionally performances!! That's a done deal.they are both ready to move on, I think. The live scenes were outstanding!I saw many after the show Instagrams and they all seemed like they truly loved each other so much.. I can't remember a series that I have loved so much. It will always be special to me! This was a fairy tale! Well, I will miss reading this blog every day, but I hope we can voice our opinions for another show soon..Thanks for the subtitles!!! you don't know how much we appreciate them!

No, that was the same buyer from the fashion show, before everyone knew Alberto was alive. They didn't explain why he decided to buy it without Ana attached or if Cristina and Enrique were selling or just agreeing to the sale to a new majority owner. You might be right though in that they decided to finally sell since they were all present. Either way the sale didn't go through. That buyer was supposed to come back the next day to finalize the deal. After the fire that night I assume he backed out which paved the way for Alberto to buy it. From what it looked like Marco was surprised when Alberto walked in and was ready to sign, which was weeks after the fire. Enzo and Alberto seemed to make the deal without Marco's knowledge. I don't think Cristina or Enrique would willingly sell to Alberto so no idea what happened there.

Thanks to all concerned who worked on the subs for us especially VV and Alfi. May your Christmas be Merry and may 2017 be happy, healthy and prosperous. The thing about Downton Abbey was Julian Fellowes made a point to say he was closing all the storylines but leaving us with an idea of what the characters will be doing but leaving it open so stories could continue if a writer wanted to. With Velvet, the writers kept saying it's the end yet there's unfinished business in all the stories. The only firm conclusion is Alberto and Ana are married and leaving Spain. I would've been more satisfied to see Alberto buy Velvet back to close it--knowing if something happens he can always bring it back. I get why Alberto doesn't want to build it back up. I always saw him and Ana leaving. Based on the time period it makes sense. But the way it happened was so rushed and random. It would've made more sense if Alberto was around for most of the season, involved in the storylines. Yes I need Region 1 or multi-region DVD release of Velvet with English and Spanish subtitles.

openload.co/f/5o79xqRxTtc/velvetfinalengsubs.mp4 This works like a charm in PC ( uBlock for Chrome may help you with pop ups), if you are using a mobile, it directed me twice or so to another page but you just have to return to the previous page and press again into the big play button until it works. The 4shared site needs registration.

In the page that must appear after you hit the link (this ), you have two blue buttons "View" and "Download" to switch between stream and download tabs, by default is in stream, so you just press the big button of Play with the triangle in the middle and it will direct you to an advert page, you just have to press the Back button fast and after two tries, in your third attempt, the stream should start.
