Scarf Fabric Reference

1. Silk Sensation (2.65 oz, 100% Polyester)
   A budget-friendly silk alternative with a smooth, satiny finish. Lightweight with a subtle sheen and fluid drape. Not real silk but has a silky feel.
2. Silk Satin (2.51 oz, 100% Silk)
   Classic high-shine silk with a luxurious, glossy front and matte back. Elegant drape and rich texture. A timeless choice for formalwear.
3. Silk Georgette (1.47 oz, 100% Silk)
   Semi-sheer, lightweight, and slightly crinkled for texture. Flowy and delicate with a soft matte finish. Chic, but more ethereal than structured.
4. Lightweight Silk Satin (1.47 oz, 100% Silk)
   A thinner, airy version of Silk Satin. Has the same shine but with more movement and less weight—delicate and graceful.
5. Silk Twill (1.59 oz, 100% Silk)
   A refined, matte-finish silk with visible diagonal weave. Medium body with excellent structure and durability—luxurious and smart.
6. Paris Chiffon (1.18 oz, 100% Polyester)

7. Mulmul Soft Muslin (1.62 oz, 100% Polyester)
   Soft, semi-sheer muslin with a gentle drape. Lightweight and breathable, but more casual in feel. Nice for summer, but not very polished.
8. Mulayam Cotton Mulmul (1.74 oz, 100% Cotton)
   Naturally soft, breathable, and slightly textured. Great for a casual, natural look but lacks the sheen and elegance of silk.
9. Mulberry Silk Habotai (38gsm, 100% Silk)
   Lightweight, smooth, and semi-sheer silk with a soft luster. Fluid and delicate—often used for fine scarves or linings.
10. Royal Silk Chiffon (0.77 oz, 100% Silk)
    Ultra-light, sheer, and ethereal. Floaty and elegant, best for soft draping. Most delicate of all—very refined but not structured.
11. Bermondsey Twill Recycled (3.83 oz, 100% Polyester)
    Heavier, twill-woven recycled polyester. Durable with texture and weight, more structured than flowing. Great for eco-conscious lines, but it feels less luxurious.

Care: Most silk scarves can be hand-washed gently with a silk-safe detergent, but always check the care label for any specific instructions or restrictions

Outer Handbag Materials

Smooth Nappa Leather
A high-quality, full-grain leather known for its soft, supple texture and smooth, even surface. It is lightly finished, often with a subtle sheen, and prized for luxury accessories and garments due to its comfort and elegant appearance.

Textured Nappa Leather
Shares the base qualities of Nappa but features a deliberate grain or embossed texture on the surface. This gives it a tactile feel and visual interest, making it more resistant to scratches and ideal for items requiring both durability and style.

Textured Faux Leather
A synthetic alternative to genuine leather, designed to mimic the look and feel of textured or grained leather. It is typically made from polyurethane (PU) or PVC, offering durability, easy maintenance, and a cruelty-free option for accessories and upholstery.

Monroe Satin
A luxurious, glossy fabric with a smooth surface and elegant drape. Monroe Satin is often used for evening wear, linings, and accessories, valued for its soft hand-feel and lustrous finish.

Archway Brushed Twill Polyester Canvas
A durable, mid-weight polyester canvas with a brushed twill weave, giving it a soft, slightly textured surface. This fabric is robust, resists creasing, and is commonly used for bags, upholstery, and structured fashion accessories.

Oilcloth Matte
A cotton or polyester fabric coated with a matte, waterproof layer (usually PVC). Oilcloth Matte is wipe-clean, sturdy, and ideal for tablecloths, bags, and rainwear, offering practical water resistance with a non-glossy finish.
