Silks of Italy - Nero

Woven in Italy from 100% silk, this exceptional ex-designer fabric has an effortlessly elegant drape, a beautifully smooth handle and a refined matte finish that gives it a quiet luxury. Rather than a high shine, the surface absorbs the light softly, allowing the quality of the weave and the richness of the colour to speak for themselves. At approximately 108gsm, it has enough substance to flow gracefully while remaining wonderfully light against the skin.

Whether destined for an elegant evening dress, an impeccably cut blouse or a luxurious flowing skirt, this is a fabric that rewards thoughtful sewing. The fluid movement, timeless black shade and superb Italian craftsmanship make it equally suited to modern minimalist designs or classic occasion wear. Difficult to source and produced for the designer market, this is the sort of silk that instantly elevates a handmade garment into something truly special.

• Please allow 2-10% shrinkage on fabrics to be on the safe side. Wash before making up in the same manner as you would with subsequent washes (including drying methods)
• Please test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash your chosen fabrics, as we cannot accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
• Whilst every effort is made, we cannot guarantee that the colours you see on your screen are accurate because every screen shows colours differently.
