Silk

Linen Fabric Category is on sale at 20% off from May 15th to May 31st!

Britex Fabrics loves everything about silk and it shows. Silk is a natural fiber that is usually derived from the mulberry silkworm’s cocoons. Silk has it all; it is smooth, soft, strong, and lustrous. Silk is ethereal for a summer frock, and just as smart for a winter frock-coat lining. We delight in traipsing about to find you the most chic Italian silks, natty necktie silks, brilliant jacquard silks, and airy sheer silk chiffons.

    Snakey Brown & Cream Silk Crepe de Chine

    This 100% silk crepe de chine is a lovely mix of russet, golden brown, rich cream and black, with a marvelously complex design. The stripped print is a ferocious melange of 4 1/4" wide dark and light print stripes.......which together convey the look of snakeskin or feathers. This silk is equally perfect for a classic 1980s-style floppy bow-tied blouse, or the lining for a faux fur evening jacket. 45" wide.
