What is shantung silk?

Made from almost silk Little known to the general public , Shantung silk has a textured appearance and is woven from flamed threads which give the fabric a slightly fluted surface .

This silk is light, airy, irregular and elegant , bringing a lot of freshness .

Perfect for sunny days!

Originating from the Chinese province of Shantung, shantung silk is considered to be a "wild silk" .

For what?

It is produced by silkworms fed on oak and juniper leaves .

The breeding of silkworms is called "sericulture".

For the record, sericulture consists of all of the silkworm breeding operations for obtaining the cocoon, reeling the cocoon, and spinning the silk.

Since these worms are not raised in controlled environments, moth irregularities interrupt the length of the filament, making the fibers short and coarser.

This is what gives this result.

Although it has a slightly surface striated because of the raw silk with which she is woven , Shantung silk remains very subtle and its fluted texture barely perceptible.

This fabric is also known for the sharpness that it provides, allowing it to provide structure and of the texture to ties.

Irregularity and “imperfect” texture of these ties make them works of art !

Each tie is therefore unique and will bring you a lot of originality without being ostentatious.

Material effects give two-tone reflections deliberately oriented towards the blue to match as many pieces in your wardrobe as possible.
