Fabric: A traditional damask (Jacquard) weave. The patterns take shape
directly on the loom by combining shiny and matte silk threads through a
twill weaving process. This creates a three-dimensional optical
effect—the tone-on-tone pattern becomes visible based on how light
reflects off the different textures, resulting in a fascinating
shiny-matte contrast that gently shimmers with movement.
How to care for it: 100%
silk, naturally dyed with love. Wash gently only when needed. Cold
water and a neutral eco-friendly soap will work perfectly. Light spin,
dry flat, and store away from direct sunlight when necessary to keep it
forever.
