Mikado

Description

The name of this precious fabric is the same term used to refer to the emperor of Japan.

 

Mikado fabric is characterized by its weight and stiffness, which gives it a structured and voluminous appearance, making it perfect for creating glamorous and statement-making garments.

 

The stiff drape of the raw silk in the warp plays with the softness of the weft. The weave is double weft, the warp does not appear because it is used to give the support and stiffness typical of luxury fabrics. The weft softens and gives shine to the fabric.

 

One of the standout qualities of silk Mikado fabric is its incredible luster. The fabric possesses a natural sheen that catches the light, adding a touch of luxury to any design. The luminosity of the fabric enhances the richness of colors, making them appear more vibrant and captivating.
