Dupion Silk

Dupion Silk is widely recognised for its unique, shimmering surface. Exported from China, Dupion Silk is woven on a hand loom in India where it builds up its characteristic Dupion slub from two silkworms spinning their cocoon together. It is a very popular choice of material for high fashion clothing, wedding attire, upholstery, costumers and draperies.

Description

It is slightly thicker and heavier than other silk fabrics such as Shantung, giving it a highly-lustrous surface that designers and architects love. Dupion Silk’s properties also mean it hangs beautifully, making it an ideal choice for drapes, curtains and backdrops. Our warehouse offers you a choice of three different styles, however if they are being used as a drapery solution rather than for costumes or scenery then an additional lining is needed to prevent the colour fading in sunlight.

If you would like to request a shade card, or want more information about Dupion Silk or any of our other fabrics then give us a call or fill out our online contact form.
