Raw Silk Fabrics

Raw Silk Fabrics — Natural Texture & Understated Luxury by the Metre

Raw silk fabric — also known as dupion or raw silk — is one of the most characterful and most naturally beautiful silk fabrics available, woven from the double cocoons of two silkworms that spin their cocoons together, creating the characteristic irregular slubs and textured surface that distinguish raw silk from the smooth, uniform surface of cultivated mulberry silk. This natural irregularity is not a flaw but a feature — the slubs and texture of raw silk give it a depth and visual interest that smooth silk cannot match, and its slightly matte, slightly rustic quality makes it the perfect choice for garments that combine luxury with approachability. Raw silk fabric has a beautiful natural sheen, a crisp drape, and a wonderful ability to hold colour richly and deeply, making it the preferred choice for festive suits, structured sarees, and bridal garments where texture and presence are as important as lustre. At Luxurion World, our raw silk fabrics are sourced from the finest silk weaving centres of India, paying above-fair compensation to the artisans who create them.
