BUYING SILK · DIRECT FROM THE MILL · SHIPPED WORLDWIDE
We are the mill, not a shopfront. That changes what you get and how it works.
Most "where to buy silk fabric" searches end at a retail shop selling half metres at retail prices. This page is the honest alternative route: we are the mill. The cloth is woven, dyed and finished in one place in China, and it ships from there to wherever you are.
What that means in practice: you buy at trade terms from one metre in stock colours, you deal with the people who made the cloth rather than a reseller, and the trade-off is that you wait for freight rather than picking up today. For anyone buying more than a few metres a season, that trade is usually worth making.
Shipped regularly. Fabrics arrive with commercial invoice and packing list; your broker or courier handles duty and VAT on import. Quote us fabric codes and lengths and we will come back with freight options.
Our largest export market. Ship direct to your studio, your factory or your warehouse — address is on the packing list, documentation under your reference.
Regular shipping to both. Longer transit than Europe or the US, so if you have a delivery deadline, tell us the date rather than asking whether we can hurry.
Mainland Europe served from the same dispatch. Origin documents provided; classification should be confirmed with your broker before goods leave.
Ask. If there is a viable courier and a customs route we can quote it — the limitation is freight logistics, not willingness.
The flow is simple and it is the same for a one-metre sample and a three-thousand-metre programme: send the spec (family, momme, width, colour, length) → get a quote with a dispatch date on it → swatch first if colour matters → goods ship with commercial invoice and packing list → your broker or courier clears them in.
The one thing a local shop does that we cannot is hand you the cloth today. Everything else — range, weight choice, trade pricing, colour matching — is on our side of the ledger. Decide which trade suits your timeline.
Probably not in a shop — we are a mill, not a retail chain, and we do not keep local stock outside China. What we can do is ship from one metre, worldwide, usually arriving faster than a local order would take to be dyed.
Yes — these are all regular destinations. Freight options and transit times are quoted per order because they depend on weight and destination; we do not publish generic shipping promises.
It depends on momme, width, colour route and quantity — which is why we quote rather than list. Send the spec and you will have a number with a dispatch date on it; the price-per-metre page explains what moves the number.
Per metre, usually yes, because there is no retail margin. The saving is smallest on tiny orders, where freight takes a bigger share, and largest on programme quantities.
One metre is a real order here, not an exception. Stock colours are cut to any length; there is no small-order penalty to negotiate around.
