What is silk twill?
The signature material of Oria Terranea scarves
At Oria Terranea, each scarf is designed as an exceptional piece, at the crossroads of art, craftsmanship and contemporary design.
The choice of material is never insignificant: we chose 100% silk twill, a weave recognizable by its fine diagonal lines.
Why silk?
Natural silk has been one of the noblest textile materials since antiquity. Appreciated for its incomparable softness, lightness and subtle sheen, it embodies elegance and sophistication.
It is a 100% natural fiber, obtained from silkworm cocoons. This precious thread, produced using ancestral know-how, has been recognized for millennia for its exceptional fineness, strength and subtle sheen.
Unlike synthetic fibers, natural silk breathes, adapts to body temperature and offers incomparable comfort. It is this entirely natural origin that gives Oria Terranea silk scarves their delicate feel, lightness and timeless elegance.
Difference between silk twill and silk satin
It is common to confuse silk twill and silk satin, yet their uses and finishes are very different.
Silk satin
- Very smooth and shiny appearance
- Extremely fluid feel
- More delicate and fragile fabric
- Ideal for very supple clothing or accessories
Silk twill
- More subtle and sophisticated shine
- Slightly textured appearance
- Excellent durability
- Perfect for structured scarves
Oria Terranea favors silk twill for its ability to enhance Mediterranean-inspired designs, while guaranteeing durability and comfort.
