The 16cm empire shade features Tussah slub silk in layered tones of orange, coral, and raspberry, woven in the traditional Indian style by wild Antheraea silkworms. Its hand-woven construction produces natural slubs and textural irregularities that give the fabric a thicker, more characterful handle than cultivated silk. A golden sheen inherent to the Tussah fibre allows the shade to diffuse light with a warm, luminous quality.
Like the last embers of a summer sunset, this glorious slub silk glows in layers of orange, coral, and juicy raspberry. Crafted from Tussah silk, woven in the traditional Indian style, and produced by wild Antheraea silkworms, this shade boasts a naturally thicker, more characterful handle than cultivated silk, along with a beautiful golden sheen that seems to glow from within! It’s prized for its unique, uneven texture – those charming slubs and irregularities that result from the hand-weaving process giving the fabric its unmistakable depth and soul.
