How boutiques can source silk
Boutiques use the marketplace to find silk they can specify. The job in front of them is a small run where hand and colour are visible on the cloth.
What to bring back
Silk is filed here as protein fibre. One reason to open it is distinctive surface character when well chosen. One reason to sample is do not treat all silks as interchangeable.
Bring a fabric URL and the published composition. Do not bring an unnamed swatch photo as the spec.
What this role should not assume
Boutiques still need sampling for do not treat all silks as interchangeable.
FabStitch does not add a price, a certificate or a factory minimum on this page.
