Getting to know your fabrics

Texture, weight and finish can change the way an outfit feels. Here is where to begin.

Silk is known for its sheen and graceful movement. Different weaves can feel very different in the hand, so always read the individual product composition and care information.

Cotton makes an easy everyday choice. Chanderi fabrics are often lighter and more translucent; check whether a lining or petticoat is included before you order.

Use product details as your reference. A photograph can suggest texture, but it cannot communicate every part of fabric weight, opacity or feel. Ask the store when you need a closer look.
