Crepe backed Satin – Charmeuse

Crepe backed satin silk is opulence and desire incarnate. A timeless, luxurious silk, it has a shimmering satin weave front with (like its name suggests) a crepe-like weave back. Both sides are equally beautiful however, and can be used as the right side of the garment. Add to this the silk’s impressive tensile strength and delightfully sumptuous feel and the crepe back satin becomes an unmistakable feast for the senses.

Why is Crepe backed Satin Silk great?

• 100% pure A grade Mulberry silk.
• It is undyed with no factory finishes so dyes are absorbed well.
• It is perfect for silk painting, eco dyeing and shibori techniques.
