Dupioni or Dupioni silk, is a lustrous 100% silk material that is frequently woven with two different colors of threads (one color running vertically, the other horizontally). This technique is what gives the fabric a wonderful shimmering property that changes with the light.
Dupioni is made from an irregular, rough silk reeled from double cocoons or cocoons spun side-by-side which are interlocked, making it necessary to reel them together. The resulting material is distinguished its “slubby” or “nubby” texture and a slight shimmer. Although crisp to the touch Dupioni doesn't wrinkle badly or hold a crease well. It is reversible, not stretchy, and very easy to sew.
Our Dupioni is not as course as many of the cheaper varieties available. While still textured, our Dupioni provides a nice balance of texture and refinement.
Dry Clean Only and avoid getting water on the material as it can leave a water mark or spot. See our Care Guide for more information.
