Description
This handwoven cotton–silk fabric is a finely balanced natural textile that combines the soft breathability of cotton with the subtle luster and fluidity of silk. Woven slowly on traditional looms, the cloth has a quiet, organic beauty created by the interaction of two different fibers — matte cotton giving stability and silk adding luminosity and drape.
Because it is handwoven, the surface exhibits slight variations in yarn thickness and weave rhythm, imparting the fabric with a living, tactile quality that machine-made cloth cannot replicate. These natural irregularities are part of its charm and reflect true artisanal craftsmanship.
At 137 GSM, this fabric is lightweight and airy, yet more substantial than sheer silk. It flows beautifully while still holding enough structure for garments that need gentle shaping. The cotton keeps it comfortable and breathable, while the silk allows the fabric to fall in smooth, elegant folds.
This blend is especially valued for warm-weather clothing and layered garments, as it regulates temperature naturally — cool in heat, yet softly insulating when worn close to the skin.
