Katia Silk consists of a unique blend of 80 per cent hand-spun Katia silk and 20 per cent cotton. The spun Katia silk is harvested from the cocoons of a wild silk butterfly, after which the short, soft filaments are spun by hand into thick, irregular yarns. A harmonious blend with cotton yarns creates a captivating, contrasting matt-gloss effect. The irregularities in the threads lend this wallcovering a surprising texture and distinctive appearance. Katia Silk is available in 10 colourways.

Pure Silk is 100 per cent real silk and uses warp and weft threads of different thicknesses. The resulting fabric has a distinctive texture because of the uneven puckers of the weft thread. Loved for their lightweight and lustrous appearance, Katia silk yarns are hand-spun, infusing each fibre with unique artistry and craftsmanship. Pure Silk is available in 18 colourways.
