Silk Shantung, while possessing many of the luxurious characteristics of silk dupioni, has fewer, less prominent slubs and is more uniform in texture. Machine-woven, the thread width of the shantung is thinner than that of the hand-woven dupioni. Available in 290 colors, our shantung is often lustrous in appearance and has a light crispness and body, which makes it a perfect choice for interior decorating and suitable for couture designs, elegant evening wear and bridal gowns.
