Faux Silk Fabric

What is Faux Silk Fabric?

Faux silk fabric is a man-made alternative to natural silk, designed to replicate its soft texture, beautiful drape, and light sheen. Usually woven from polyester or nylon fibres, it offers a smooth surface and a refined appearance that’s nearly indistinguishable from real silk once sewn or draped.

Unlike natural silk, faux silk is easy to care for, it’s less prone to creasing, more durable, and can often be machine-washed. This makes it a practical choice for projects where you want the luxury of silk but need something more hard-wearing and affordable.

Types of Faux Silk Fabric

Our faux silk fabrics range includes a selection of complementary materials, each offering a slightly different texture, finish, and handling quality. These fabrics can be used across both fashion and interiors to achieve a refined, silk-like look at a lower cost.

Crepe Fabric

Crepe has a slightly textured surface with a soft matte finish and a fluid drape. It’s perfect for dresses, blouses, and soft furnishings where a natural flow is desired. The subtle grain of crepe makes it easy to handle and adds a tactile feel to any project.

Jacquard Fabric

Woven with intricate patterns rather than printed designs, jacquard fabric offers structure and visual texture. It’s often used for statement garments, upholstery, and decorative drapes that benefit from added depth and definition.

Taffeta Fabric

Taffeta has a crisp handle and a subtle shimmer that makes it a favourite for eveningwear, event styling, and curtains. It holds its shape beautifully, giving volume to skirts and structure to tailored designs or decorative pleats.

Tartan Fabric

Tartan combines traditional woven checks with the soft sheen of synthetic silk, making it ideal for costume design, lightweight upholstery, and decorative accents. It’s a strong, eye-catching choice for classic or heritage-inspired projects.
