Pongees range of 10 Wild Silks comprises woven by hand tussar and ghicha silks, with their distinctive, artisan appearance and feel. The fabrics are produced from the thread of wild silkworms that feed on leaves from the java plum tree.  

Luxurious in their own right, they are quite different from the mulberry silks that make up the majority of Pongees fabrics.

The heavier Wild Silks are ideal for jackets, skirts and trousers; lighterweight options are best for shirts and blouses, as well as covers, throws and bedlinen.

The collection is particularly appropriate as texture becomes more important for designers, alongside an increasing demand for sustainable and heritage fabrics.

See the Wild Silks at leading exhibitions, in our London showroom and online or contact sales@pongees.com for more information.
