Synthetic

These are the man-made and blended fabrics — crepe, satin, modal and georgette — and they earn their place for practical reasons rather than romantic ones.

They hold colour without fading, resist creasing, wash easily and cost less than the pure silks, which makes them the sensible choice for anything worn often rather than once. From ₹125 a metre.

Cut to whatever length you need, from a single metre.
