Welcome to our space! We're a designer fabric company located in Melbourne. Our products are 100% Italian silk and are usually used for bridal wear, dinner and evening gowns and spring racing carnival fashion.

Just a few quick facts to introduce ourselves here:

How does Italian silk differ from normal silk?
Italian silk is traditionally softer and shinier than silk produced from other countries. This can be attributed to the use of more advanced technology from the Europeans in the production of silk fabric. Additionally, the Italians customarily weave silk to produce fabrics that are used for European clothing manufacturers. Other countries tend to mass-produce silk to export to world markets.

Why is pure Italian silk better than other types of clothing fabric?
1. The cloth flows and sits better around your body
2. The cloth doesn't create static electricity
3. The cloth always feels softer than synthetic fibre.

What is Italian silk mainly used for?
Italian silk is mainly used for luxury clothing brands. Most European designer brands prefer to use Italian silk.

Where does d'Italia's products come from?
d'Italia's silk fabric is imported to Australia directly from Europe. It comes from the same manufacturers who produce for designer labels like Armani, Gucci and Escada. New fabric is imported every season, to ensure that the latest designs are available in store.

d'Italia's French lace is exclusively from top French lines, and is made-to-order. It comes only in small 4-5m lengths. All products that are beaded are hand-made.
