The Italian word for silk is seta. Italian silk fabrics are of the finest quality and considered to be one of the best silk fabrics for a reason. The reasons are two-fold: The alpine lakes and streams around Lake Como supply an abundant supply of fresh water crucial in the manufacture of this magical fabric; there is an established agricultural presence of mulberry trees–the preferred food and habitat of silkworms. Exclusive quality and exquisite design available in a wide range of colours, textures and finishes make Italian silk the number one fabric choice for evening wear, with a variety of printed and solid silks for casual attire.
