This circa 1970s genuine vintage French-made silk is luxuriously midweight with a slubbed design in black against an iridescent chrome cloth. It has a subtle sheen and is completely opaque. Wrinkle-resistant, the silk threads are incredibly soft and give it natural drape whilst maintaining good structure. A rarity, this fabric would make into a divine pair of trousers with a soft pleat or pintuck, a spring weight vest, jacket or incredible bag.
From the workroom of New Zealand's oldest tie manufacturer, Parisian, est. 1919, comes a collection of exceptional fabrics from Europe. Making in the heart of Auckland for over 100 years, Parisian continues to apply the tradition of craft and quality honed over four generations.
