Description
This Raw Mulberry Crepe Silk fabric is a rare, artisanal textile that celebrates the natural beauty of silk in its most authentic form.
Handwoven from mulberry silk yarns, it features the characteristic grain, depth, and understated elegance that define true raw silk. The crepe construction adds subtle texture and movement, making this fabric both visually rich and quietly luxurious.
How This Fabric Is Made
The fabric is woven using mulberry silk yarns that retain a degree of their natural sericin, giving the silk its raw, organic character.
These yarns are handwoven on traditional looms using a crepe construction, where controlled yarn twist creates a softly crinkled surface.
Handweaving allows for gentle irregularities in texture—an intentional hallmark of artisanal silk—resulting in a fabric with depth, individuality, and soul.
