DESCRIPTION Our silk dupion shades are always the most popular because pure silk is a uniquely beautiful fabric with a luxurious textured quality and richness that cannot be reproduced in other materials. Not surprisingly, these qualities makes it much sought after in both period and contemporary homes for soft furnishings and bedding. All our silk shades have a fabulous natural sheen and distinctive weave that makes them stand out from the rest, however, as a natural fabric they do need looking after as they can fade and deteriorate over time. We strongly recommend that you order a swatch before ordering any of our fabrics to help you decide if it is right for you.

Silk Characteristics As a natural fibre, silk dupion has a prominent, textured slub that is irregular in appearance. There may also be variations in tone or weave which are characteristic of pure silk but not to everyone's taste, especially if you are after a more uniform look. As a raw fabric, fading and deterioration may occur over time, especially in sunlight and is more noticeable in darker colours, so we do not recommend you use silk dupion for lampshades in or near a window. Please take a look at our lovely collection of faux silks which we have sourced for customers wanting the look and feel of pure silk in a more robust fabric.
