Product History

The name "Dupioni" derives from the Italian word “doppio,” meaning “double,” a reference to the uneven thread reels created when two or more silkworms spin their cocoons together. This unique feature gives Dupioni its characteristic texture and slubs, setting it apart from other silks. Originally favored for its rustic elegance, Dupioni quickly became a staple in luxury fashion and home decor.

Today, Dupioni is celebrated for its timeless appeal, lending a touch of opulence to bridal gowns, evening wear, and elegant interiors. Its ability to combine natural imperfections with a polished sheen makes it a fabric of choice for those seeking a balance of tradition and sophistication.

Product More Info

Dupioni is woven using a plain weave technique with uneven weft threads, often spun from silk cocoons that overlap or are made by two or more silkworms. This results in the fabric’s signature slubs and texture. The addition of differently colored warp threads enhances its iridescent, multidimensional sheen, making it a visually dynamic fabric.
