This shade is made from the grandaddy of silk - Dupion. And to think it all started out with a friendly little worm spinning its stuff. Dupion has a beautiful lustre that simply cannot be replicated from man made processes. This Taupe colour is one of those classic neutrals that can work in pretty much any environment.

Sometimes this silk has small imperfections - known as slubs - where two threads of silk yarn are twisted together a little more thickly than usual. Slubs happen, and should be celebrated as a reminder that silk is a natural, organic and beautiful fibre...not grumbled about! We hope you love and live happily ever after with your glorious Dupion silk shade. And if you made it this far...
