Dobby is a special type of weave that is often used in traditional Japanese clothing. These two new solids nicely accentuate the colors in the print which I have named Grapevine in Indigo. These three are all brand new in the shop from Japan and on the website now. Get inspired and make something

We have received a nice large restock of silk charmeuse in solid color. Here is the range of yellows, greens and blues we processed into our stock today. These are all 100% silk crepe back satin. That means one side has a matte finish and the other side has a satin finish

Here is something unusual. This is a silk Ribbon Jacquard Chiffon. A ribbon chiffon is one with opaque stripes running parallel to the selvages interspersed with sheer stripes. In this case the opaque stripes also have a jacquard pattern woven in
