What is silk twill?
The signature material of Oria Terranea scarves
At Oria Terranea, each scarf is conceived 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?
Since ancient times, natural silk has been one of the most noble textile materials. Valued for its incomparable softness, lightness, and subtle luster, it embodies elegance and refinement.
It is a 100% natural fiber, obtained from silkworm cocoons. This precious thread, produced through 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 appearances 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 sheen
- Slightly textured feel
- Excellent durability
- Perfect for structured scarves
Oria Terranea favors silk twill for its ability to enhance Mediterranean-inspired motifs, while ensuring durability and comfort.
