Wild silk
Wild silk, also known as "SHANTUNG" or "TUSSAH," is a natural and textured fabric that embodies rustic and authentic elegance. Characterized by its natural irregularities and its slightly grainy texture, wild silk is popular for its unique charm and its organic character. Our collection of wild silk, from the end of series of the largest fashion houses, offers you fabrics of exceptional quality, perfect for distinctive and refined creations.
Characteristics of wild silk
Wild silk is distinguished by its uneven texture, created by silk fibers of different thicknesses used in its weaving. This characteristic gives the fabric a raw and natural appearance, with irregular lines which bring a unique visual depth. The slightly mat surface of wild silk captures light in a gentle way, adding a subtle sophistication to your creations. It is also known for its robustness, despite its lightness, offering a perfect balance between structure and fluidity.
Color palette and patterns
Our wild silk collection is available in a wide range of colors, ranging from soothing neutral tones to bright and brilliant shades. The natural colors of wild silk, such as shades of beige, brown and cream, underline its organic appearance and are ideal for timeless creations. In addition, we offer wild bristles tinged in rich and saturated colors, perfect for pieces that stand out. Our options also include subtle patterns, adding an additional dimension to this fabric already rich in texture.
Applications and uses
Wild silk is extremely versatile, adapting to a multitude of sewing and decoration projects. It is particularly popular for cocktail dresses, costumes, blouses and skirts, where its unique texture can be highlighted. In interior decoration, wild silk is often used for curtains, cushions and murals, bringing a touch of discreet luxury and natural refinement to any space. Its ability to be tinted and maintain structured forms makes it a popular choice for creations requiring a touch of originality.
Maintenance and durability
Like all silk fabrics, wild silk requires delicate care to preserve its beauty and natural texture. It is recommended to wash it by hand with a soft soap or entrust it to professional dry cleaning. It is also advisable to iron wild silk at low temperature, with a protective linen, to avoid marking the fabric.
