The Fabric Library
Mulberry silk, heavy silk brocade and fine wools — selected for how they behave in a finished garment, not only how they look on the bolt.
Request SwatchesWhat we work in
Mulberry Silk
The foundation of our qipao work — a clean, even surface with the weight and drape a cheongsam needs.
Silk Brocade
Heavier woven patterns for ceremonial and bridal pieces, where the motif carries the garment.
Silk Crepe
A matte, fluid option that moves well and travels without creasing badly.
Fine Wool
For tailoring — chosen for drape and recovery so a jacket settles to the wearer over time.
Physical swatches
Photographs flatten fabric. Weight, drape and the way a colour shifts in daylight are things you need to feel and see in person.
Tell us the garment and the fabrics you are considering, and we will arrange physical swatches before you decide.
