Silk sateen fabric is known for its even sheen 100% silk satin is a highly reflective fabric that achieves an almost liquid like lustre on any garment. With a fine woven finish that is cooling and incredibly light on the skin, silk satin was originally created in China during the middle ages, travelling the silk road to Europe where it was fashioned into fine garments, linen and soft furnishings. Our range of silks are available in several finishes from sand washed and coated to crepe backed and mixed lycra, organza or viscose satin fabrics.
