Crashed Silk – Textured Silk with Modern Ease
Crashed silk represents a contemporary interpretation of classic silk. Its deliberately irregular surface adds depth and movement while preserving the luxurious qualities of pure silk. The result is a fabric that feels both elegant and effortless.
What is Crashed Silk?
Crashed silk is a pure silk fabric that has been permanently textured through specialised finishing processes. Unlike temporary creasing, the crinkled effect is fixed and remains intact even after washing.
How is the crashed effect created?
After weaving and dyeing, the silk undergoes mechanical or thermal treatments that set the fabric into its characteristic textured form. This creates a three-dimensional surface with a subtle play of light and a distinctive tactile quality.
Characteristics of Crashed Silk
- pure silk with a textured, crinkled surface
- light, fluid and comfortable to wear
- less delicate than smooth silk
- crease-resistant and ideal for travel
- modern elegance with natural movement
How is Crashed Silk used?
Crashed silk is particularly suited to dresses, skirts, blouses and scarves. Its balance of refinement and ease complements modern silhouettes and lends itself to relaxed yet sophisticated styling.
How to care for Crashed Silk
Wash gently by hand or on a delicate cycle. Do not iron – the textured surface is an intentional design feature and should be preserved.
