Silk satin with elastane in colorful flowers on a navy background in a Gucci style

Mulberry silk fabric, pure luxury

Natural mulberry silk — is a fabric worth remembering, because the touch of this fabric can transport us into a world of luxury already with the first brush. Fabric category: Silk. This material is 100% mulberry silk or a version with added elastane, with a width of 140 cm. The weight is about 16 momme, which provides lightness and an extraordinarily fluid drape. Finishing and texture depend on the selected weave: silk satin, twill, crepe de chine, and chiffon create a diverse character — from a glossy sheen to a subtle, matte charm. These textiles can turn the most ordinary project into a real “wow”.

Mulberry silk — what it is, i.e. properties

A natural treasure in two versions: 100% mulberry silk or versions with added elastane, with a weight of around 16 momme, which guarantees excellent fraying resistance and durability. Mulberry silk is a fabric with exceptional hygroscopicity and thermoregulation — the skin “breathes,” moisture evaporates, and the material maintains thermal comfort even under changing conditions. Optional elastane adds a delicate stretch, making the fabric even more practical for fitted styles. The silk satin weave provides an intense shine and a smooth surface, twill adds a soft texture and subtle weight, crepe de chine introduces a slightly ribbed, soft texture, and chiffon ensures lightness and airiness of movement. A width of 140 cm allows for creating projects with a minimal number of cuts, which every seamstress will appreciate.
Mulberry silk is made from silkworm cocoons, which most of all like to feed on mulberry leaves.

How to care for silk?

Composition: 100% mulberry silk or versions with elastane. To maintain the fabric’s properties, we recommend washing on a delicate cycle or hand washing in water at up to 30°C with a mild detergent intended for silk. Avoid chlorine and high temperatures. Do not spin at high speeds; best is to dry laid flat or hang in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight. Set the iron to a low temperature (or medium) and press through a delicate piece of cotton from the reverse side; if needed, use steam from a distance to avoid damaging the delicate structure. Elastane versions also require gentle care to preserve stretch without losing shape.

What can be sewn from silk?

Thanks to its lightness, drape, and beautiful sheen, natural mulberry silk is ideal for projects that want to surprise with elegance and comfort. Perfect for long, flowing dresses and evening blouses, as well as for shirts and skirts made with flair, with soft, fluid lines. Elastane versions work great for fitted designs — a fitted blouse, a light blazer, or an elegant jumpsuit will provide comfort and a loose but refined character. With a width of 140 cm and a wide variety of patterns, this fabric is also an excellent choice for scarves, shawls, and accessories that will complete any outfit.
