Characterised by their irregular texture and iridescent sheen, Dupioni Silks are an excellent choice for any formal occasion.

The collection offers a myriad of classic and contemporary colours suitable for both men’s and ladies wear.

Dupioni Silk is woven from a fine yarn in the warp with a coarser, more uneven yarn in the weft. The weft yarn is produced from silk that has been reeled from two or more entangled cocoons.

The irregular imperfections created by this process become inherent characteristics of the Dupioni Silk fabric.

Dupioni Silks have many advantages over and above other silk fabrics which include the following characteristics...

Dupioni Silk Characteristics • They are crease resistant • They can take a permanent crease easily • They are reversible – it is acceptable to use either side of the fabric • Their irregular texture is considered to be a natural attribute • They have NO natural elasticity so it is very important to measure accurately before cutting

Silk Characteristics • Silk is renowned for its superior luxury • Silk is extremely comfortable to wear • Silk is cool to wear in summer and warm to wear in winter • Silk is very receptive to dye • Silk has good drape properties • Silk is very absorbent and durable • Silk has a natural lustre • Silk is moth and mildew resistant
