Italian Silk Royal Fil Coupé Lurex

Explore Italian silk royal fil coupé lurex for kaftans, jalabiyas and occasion dresses. Decorative cut-thread effects and metallic detail provide a textured alternative to a smooth printed surface. Compare the original photographs for each article, then plan the garment with your dressmaker.

What is fil coupé fabric?

Fil coupé refers to cut-thread effects within a woven construction. Its appearance and texture depend on the individual article. Lurex adds metallic-effect detail, but the fabric name does not specify all fibre percentages or establish that the entire cloth is pure silk.

Fabric format and specifications

The collection is offered in 3-metre pieces, and the published collection specification lists a width of 140 cm. Confirm the usable width for your selected article when your cutting plan depends on it. Refer to its product page or contact us for any missing composition and care details. The fabrics are listed as Made in Italy.

How should I use the decorative detail on a garment?

Discuss the placement of the motif at the neckline, sleeves, centre front and seams. A simpler silhouette can leave more space for the ornament. Ask your dressmaker to assess the actual material, lining and seam finishing rather than assuming that all fil coupé fabrics behave alike.

Will one piece make a kaftan or jalabiya?

Not necessarily. Calculate from your measurements, garment length, sleeve design and motif matching. Multiple quantities mean separate 3-metre pieces, not a guaranteed continuous cut. A garment shown in styling imagery is not included with the fabric.
