Wild elegance in blue: tigers, leopards, pumas and clouded leopards look out from fine, watercolor-like drawings on the silver-grey background – some facing forward, others in profile, each animal with its own expression. The tone-on-tone design is rich in detail yet understated. Paired with navy, white and grey, it creates a clean, modern look; with camel and cognac, a warm, casual elegance.

Material & Quality

The crepe satin made from pure Italian silk has two sides: the front shows the typical, slightly grainy crepe texture with a matte shimmer, while the reverse is satin-finished and has a silky sheen. The fabric is opaque and has a flowing, heavy drape – lining is not necessary in many cases.

What You Can Sew With It

• Blouses & Shirts: a casual oversized shirt or a blouse with satin cuffs.
• Dresses: a shirt dress or a bias-cut slip dress.
• Scarves & Accessories: a large carré scarf that looks beautiful on both sides.

Sewing Tip: Carefully position the animal heads when cutting, for example placing one motif centrally on the back, and lay all pieces in the same direction. The satin-finished side is ideal for contrasting details such as collars, cuffs or facings. Use a fine microtex needle (size 60–70) and place pins only in the seam allowance.

Care Tip: Hand wash in lukewarm water with silk detergent or have professionally cleaned. Do not wring out and iron on the reverse at a low temperature.
