A wild silk with crisp texture and beautiful sheen in all the splendor and color of its native India.
Dupion or Dupioni is a pure silk fabric made out of raw silk fiber. It is silk at its best natural form. The default inherent random slubs distinguish it from other lesser quality silks. Available in a myriad range of colors, Dupioni is considered the best in silk for dresses, and of course corsets.
Dupioni silk has an irregular weave with tiny nubs showing. It is sometimes confused with 'shantung' or 'raw silk' which is usually lighter in weight and has a finer weave than Dupioni. Dupioni is used extensively by many of the top bridal designers and manufacturers.
