1. Fabric Overview

This Tussar silk noil striped fabric is a substantial, textured silk textile with a refined artisanal character. Woven at a robust 280 GSM, it balances the organic irregularity of silk noil with the visual rhythm of raised stripes, resulting in a fabric that feels grounded, architectural, and quietly luxurious. The natural ivory tone and matte surface lend it a timeless, understated elegance suitable for slow-made, design-led garments.

2. How the Fabric Is Made

Silk noil is produced from short fibers left over from silk spinning, spun into a staple yarn rather than continuous filament. In this fabric, Tussar silk noil yarns are loom-woven into a plain weave base, with additional yarn emphasis introduced during weaving to form integral vertical stripe texture. The result is a cloth with visible slubs, gentle irregularity, and tactile depth—entirely woven, not surface-applied.

4. Handfeel & Drape

Drape is structured and architectural, holding silhouettes well while still allowing gentle movement. The raised stripes add subtle dimension without stiffness.
