Individually painted by hand onto luxurious devore silk grounds, hand painted silk burnout fabrics create artistic effects for high fashion, occasion wear, mother of the bride and statement pieces.
Silk burnout fabric – also known as devore silk – is created by selectively removing fibres to form semi-sheer patterns against a solid silk ground. This creates a unique contrast of texture, transparency and sheen.
Our hand painted silk burnout fabrics take this process further. Starting with natural white burnout silk, each design is individually painted by hand by skilled textile artists, transforming the fabric into a richly decorative surface with painterly depth and fluid colour variation.
Hand painted silk burnout has an artisanal quality that gives every design a unique and expressive finish.
Hand painted silk burnout fabric is especially suited to designs that require individuality, movement and visual impact:
At East & Silk, we have a long history of supplying hand painted silk burnout. We offer a carefully developed collection for production and project development. A minimum order is required.
Due to its delicate burnout structure and hand-finished surface, this fabric benefits from careful handling during cutting and sewing. Dry clean only.
