We love unique fabrics and this one intrigued us right away. Not only does it feature a wonderful blend of supple silk and sturdy linen, it is woven in a timeless herringbone pattern that the dual fibers intensify. This classic weave is enlivened by the introduction of a silk weft with a fetchingly irregular structure and a fresh palette of colors including this olive.
The linen warp takes dye differently than the silk weft, drawing the “herringbone” pattern to the fore. Linen lends the fabric strength and tailorability while the thicker, more deeply colored silk threads bring softness and a silky matte sheen. Like linen or spun silk, the fabric softens with every wash.
This silk linen blend would make a good-looking pair of trousers or skirt and would serve equally well in a blazer or light jacket. The fabric is easy to work with, suitable for simple cuts as well as more complex tailored styles, everything from loose pants to a fitted dress or blazer.
The unique blend of natural fibers makes this fabric breathable, cool in summer and warm in winter months. You will use it year-round.
Use it in home decor for pillows, throws, and curtains. We would love to play with this material in a minimalist or Scandinavian interior where its color variations could brighten up a room without taking center stage.
Wash by hand in lukewarm water with a delicate detergent for wool or silk. Do not squeeze or wring out. Lay flat to dry. Iron on the silk or wool setting.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
