Silk twill: the signature fabric 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 fabric is never incidental. We have selected 100% silk twill, a distinctive weave recognised by its subtle diagonal texture.

Why silk?

Since Antiquity, natural silk has been regarded as one of the world's most precious textiles. Celebrated for its incomparable softness, lightness and subtle lustre, it embodies elegance and refinement.

Silk is a 100% natural fibre obtained from silkworm cocoons. Produced through centuries of artisanal expertise, this precious thread has been prized for millennia for its exceptional fineness, strength and luminous quality.

Unlike synthetic fibres, natural silk is breathable, adapts to body temperature and offers remarkable comfort. It is this entirely natural origin that gives Oria Terranea scarves their delicate touch, lightness and timeless elegance.

Silk twill versus silk satin

Silk twill and silk satin are often confused, yet they differ significantly in both appearance and purpose.

Silk satin

  • Highly smooth and lustrous surface
  • Exceptionally fluid drape
  • More delicate and fragile fabric
  • Ideal for garments and soft accessories

Silk twill

  • More subtle and sophisticated sheen
  • Lightly textured surface
  • Excellent durability and structure
  • Ideal for beautifully crafted scarves

Oria Terranea favours silk twill for its ability to enhance Mediterranean-inspired motifs while ensuring durability, comfort and elegance.
