Composition - Silk
Silk is the quality for designs that are meant to appear fine, elegant, and especially luxurious. Many designers choose silk because the fabric catches light in an elegant way, feels soft on the skin, and makes every movement look high-class. Ideal if you are looking for an exclusive natural fiber with a special appeal. (More...)
Silk is an animal-based natural fiber and is used for smooth, flowing, glossy or even slightly matte fabrics. Depending on processing, the effect ranges from soft and delicate to more stable and structured. Silk is particularly popular for blouses, dresses, evening wear, linings, scarves and exclusive designer pieces.
Typical types of fabric:
• Silk satin
• Silk chiffon
• Silk organza
• Silk twill
• Silk crepe
Important properties:
Silk is lightweight, elegant and pleasant on the skin. Many qualities appear particularly high-quality due to their sheen, fine drape, or delicate transparency. The fiber is suitable for elegant, festive and luxurious designs with fine movement.
Care instructions:
Silk should be treated very gently. Hand washing or professional cleaning is usually the best choice depending on the quality. When ironing, use only low heat and work preferably from the inside.
