The silk specialist behind IM Silk

Why a company that only sells silk

Predatex Export Ltd spent years exporting fabrics of every kind. In 2015 the company formed a dedicated silk export team — Predatex Silk Co., Ltd. — to deal with only top-quality 100% silk fabrics. The reason was simple: the market has always been flooded with polyester, nylon and blends sold as silk, and buyers deserve a source that does not quietly compromise.

Supplying only genuine mulberry silk is not a marketing line for us — it is the reason the company exists. We also emphasize service and proposal, because silk has always been a sensitive item: high price, special characteristics, and very little tolerance for a wrong specification.

What we supply

Our fabrics cover garment and wedding applications across ten families: silk satin and charmeuse, crepe de chine, chiffon, organza, georgette, dupioni, taffeta, habotai, sandwashed silk and digital printed silk — plus stretch qualities and silk tulle, duchess satin and twill on request. Every fabric is available solid-dyed in custom colors or finished with custom prints.

• Garment silk fabrics — the working weights ateliers and brands buy season after season
• Wedding silk fabrics — the sheens, structures and volumes bridal specifications demand
• Solid dyed silk fabrics — matched to your palette, Pantone or physical swatch
• Digital printing silk fabrics — your artwork, printed with low minimums

How we work

Silk is specified, not guessed. Every order moves through the same four steps:

1. Swatches. Physical samples ship first, so hand, sheen and color are settled before anything is committed.
2. Specification. We confirm fabric family, momme weight, width and finish against your end use — and tell you when a different family would serve the garment better.
3. Production. In-stock colors ship from inventory; custom colors and prints are woven and finished to order.
4. Dispatch. Rolled, labeled and documented for export, with quality checked before the goods leave.

Who we work with

Our customers are fashion brands and their ateliers, bridal and occasion-wear houses, and fabric wholesalers and distributors who need a reliable genuine-silk source for their own clients. Whatever the size of the order — a single meter for a sample or a full production run — the specification process is the same.

Where we are

Predatex Silk Co., Ltd. is based in Wuhu, Anhui, China — in the heart of the country's silk producing region, minutes from the mills that weave our fabrics. Fabric enquiries are handled directly by our sales director.
