Shantung silk

Shantung silk is a type of silk fabric originating from the Shandong province in China. It is valued for its rich texture, slightly slubby appearance, and natural sheen, giving garments a luxurious yet textured look. Made from closely woven silk fibers, Shantung silk is durable and has a somewhat rougher surface compared to smoother silks like charmeuse. Often used in formal wear, wedding dresses, and home decor, it combines elegance with a distinctive, rustic charm. Its unique texture and natural luster make it a versatile choice for those seeking a sophisticated fabric with character.
