Bespoke Silk Fabric,

Designed by You

From our Green Point, Cape Town showroom, we supply silk fabric by the metre. Choose from our stock colours, order it undyed, or have it custom printed or dyed.

Dressmakers, designers, textile artists and brands order from us, as do private clients.

For printed and dyed orders, you approve a strike off or lab dip before production begins.

Tell us what you need. Share the fabric, colour and metres you have in mind, and we will return with options, pricing and a delivery time.

Sample and approve

Test our undyed silk in your own studio before you order by the metre. Use the swatches to:

  • Check dye absorption
  • Check shrinkage
  • Run a test print
If we are printing or dyeing for you, we do a strike off or a lab dip before production. A strike off is a sample piece of your print, and a lab dip is a small dyed swatch. You approve it before we start. For colour we need a Pantone TPX code, or a CMYK or RGB breakdown. We have a Pantone book if you need to review colours.
03

Order by the metre

Buy the length you need, in whole or part metres.

  • Minimum 1 metre orders.
04

Shipped to your studio

Your silk is sent directly to your studio.

  • Delivery time is calculated on order.
  • We confirm it with the mill, then stay in contact with you throughout, keeping you up to date and your order on schedule.
