Dupion

Dupion, Iso called doupioni and slub silk. A medium-weight, plain-weave silk fabric which has a crisp texture. The fabric is tightly woven with different sized weft and warp threads which gives it a textured appearance and highly-lustrous surface. Its edges have a tendency to fray. Dupion is sometimes woven with different coloured warp and weft threads, giving an iridescent look called shot silk. Sometimes it’s woven in stripes, checks and other patterns. It’s generally used for posh dresses, jackets, evening wear and bridal wear.

Care: dry clean, warm iron without steam.
