The Old Quarter Pinstripe Silk is a beautifully lightweight woven silk featuring delicate pinstripes that create subtle texture and understated elegance.
The fine woven stripes add beautiful depth without overwhelming the fabric, allowing the rich colours and natural lustre of silk to shine through. Soft, fluid and incredibly lightweight, it moves gracefully with the body while maintaining a refined, artisanal appearance.
Naturally breathable and comfortable against the skin, this silk is ideal for warm climates yet layers beautifully throughout the seasons. Its luxurious drape makes it equally suited to relaxed resort wear and elegant occasion pieces, while the subtle woven stripe offers timeless sophistication that never dates.
Available in a curated palette of soft neutrals, pastels and vibrant statement colours, this collection has been selected to mix effortlessly across wardrobes and interiors.

Colour Disclaimer:
We do our best to photograph each fabric as accurately as possible, and we also use AI to assist with image generation. However, due to differences in lighting during photography, screen settings and individual device displays, the colours shown may vary slightly from the actual fabric. Contact us for a custom swatch pack of colours if required.
Fabric Cut Disclaimer:
Multiple metres of the same fabric purchased in a single order will be supplied as one continuous piece whenever possible. If we discover any imperfections that prevent the fabric from being supplied in one continuous length, we will contact you promptly to explain the situation and discuss the available options before dispatching your order.
Care Instructions:
Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the natural lustre and softness of silk. If hand washing, use cool water with a gentle silk detergent, avoiding soaking or wringing. Dry flat or hang away from direct sunlight. Warm iron on the reverse side while slightly damp using a silk setting, or steam gently to remove creases.
