ietnam’s Golden Thread Sil

Golden Thread Silks was born in Vietnam, and we have a

passion for its fabric, food and culture. Many of our Vietnamese
fabrics are jacquards from Ha Dong, the center of weaving and
sericulture (silk worm production) for centuries. Old jacquard
looms are still used, weaving patterns containing centuries-old
symbols and characters.
ome popular Vietnamese fabric ranges are:

1. Shantung Tafetta
• Shantung is a type of silk fabric historically from the
province of Shandong. It is similar to Dupioni, but is
slightly thinner and less irregular. Shantung is often
used for bridal gowns.
2. Bengaline Weave
• Bengaline fabric is a great looking, thick-grained taffeta. It
is a durable plain weave fabric that is characterized by
widthwise cords formed by using fine warp yarns and
course weft yarns. Bengaline was first made of silk in
Bengal, India.
3. Ebony Satin
• An all-natural lustrous silk hand-woven in southern
Vietnam and naturally dyed using ebony fruit pods. The
fabric dates back over a century, but was only recently
revitalized by the designer Vo Viet Chung.
