Pure silk velvets woven on hand-looms that date back to over a century ago, a lost art and craft, except by this sole source, who is able to weave, cut and organize the silk that forms the nap of this velvet.

 

Marialida also produces our technique on other types of fabrics : Satin silk, Linen, Canapa / Cotton,  and other types of velvets.

 

The fabrics are then printed and dyed with consecutive baths of natural colors, earth colors, metallic oxide colors, vegetable colors, which expertly mixed give origin to an infinite number of marvelous shades. They are air-dried at each passage without the aid of mechanical dryers to allow for the charming shades, characteristic of these fabrics. Because all of the processes done to these fabrics are by many hands, each meter of fabric is unique, and can be appreciated for its fluid, draping quality, and which is not in any way diminished or altered by the processing it undergoes

 

 

 

Fabrics with shaded, iridescent and veiled effects obtained by consecutive passages. Cloths in Eden rose  red, Delphinium blue, Ficus green, Iris turquoise, Plum black, Gladiolus yellow, Lilium orange, Magnolia white etc.. delicate and harmonious nuances inspired by nature.

Subtle colors ambiguous and sensual, surprising and refined. The raw fabrics are colored by a very special hand technique for consecutive passages into the dye-baths of various colors, where transparencies and overlapping veiling play, melting into each other in inimitable shades. Each passage has to be dried in a particular room temperature and humidity.  " We use nature in order to produce our fabrics " .
