Dupioni silk fabric is a luxurious, crisp, and textured silk woven from irregular threads of raw silk, often produced when two silkworms spin their cocoons closely together. This process creates natural slubs and subtle crosswise irregularities that give the fabric its distinctive, slightly rough texture and unique sheen.
Dupioni silk is lightweight to medium-weight with a firm, crisp hand and a beautiful, shimmering luster that reflects light differently at various angles. It holds its shape well and resists wrinkles better than many other silks, making it ideal for structured garments.
