Raw bourette silk diagonal twill with cotton

Raw bourette silk with a cotton blend

Raw bourette silk diagonal twill with cotton — a luxury that works perfectly in the real world: with it, you can sew both an elegant suit and a relaxed, everyday little jacket. Fabric category: silk. This fabric is a blend of 80% raw mulberry silk and 20% raw cotton, with a weight of 250 g/m² and a width of 140 cm, finished raw. The distinct diagonal twill gives the fabric rhythm and depth, while the bourette texture introduces subtle irregularities, making each piece one of a kind.

Properties of raw silk

The composition of 80% raw mulberry silk and 20% raw cotton creates a fabric with excellent breathability and a comfortable microclimate when worn. The 250 g/m² weight provides a solid, yet not heavy hand, and the 140 cm width enables efficient cutting and minimizes waste. The raw finish emphasizes the material’s natural character, while the diagonal, clearly defined twill weave provides structure and confidence of shape. Bourette adds delicate, natural lumps and subtle irregularities in the fibers, which gives the fabric a unique character and an authentic, “handmade” charm. The material regulates body temperature well, is soft thanks to the silk fiber, and at the same time, due to the cotton, gains durability and practicality in everyday use.

Pattern and color

The distinct diagonal twill introduces dynamic movement on the surface — the diagonal lines will play with light, emphasizing the fabric’s character. A color palette limited to natural tones: like natural raw silk and cotton, i.e., an off-white, beige shade with subtle color differences resulting from the fiber blend. A versatile, exceptionally elegant shade that is easy to combine with other colors, and when silk is paired with a raw texture, it creates an eye-catching, authentic look.

Care for bourette silk

This 80% silk and 20% cotton blend requires delicacy. Best to wash by hand in cool water (up to around 30°C) with a mild detergent for delicate fabrics. Avoid chlorine and strong spin-drying; after washing, gently press out the water and lay flat to dry in the shade. An iron set to low temperature, using a smooth protective cloth or steam, will restore smoothness without damage. If in doubt, the fabric can be taken for professional dry cleaning.

Application of raw silk

Thanks to its structure and weight, this fabric is ideal for projects with character: long evening gowns with subtle draping, tailored jackets and skirts with clean lines, as well as loose, oversized shirts or lightweight coats. The distinct diamond weave and natural finish give projects an elegance with a touch of raw, artistic character — perfect for people who value luxury that has a soul.
