Silk is a natural protein fibre obtained from the cocoons of silkworms. Known for its natural lustre, smooth texture and elegant drape, it combines exceptional strength with a lightweight feel and has long been associated with luxury textiles and craftsmanship.

Chantilly lace is a fine, delicate lace characterised by detailed motifs worked over a fine net ground. It is generally lightweight, soft and relatively sheer, with floral and botanical motifs being particularly common. Compared with heavier guipure lace, Chantilly has a finer and more delicate appearance.
