About this fabric

Lepus is the songket variant in which the gold thread covers nearly the entire field rather than just the borders. Stacked diamonds carry a centre point with small crosses between them. Woven on a silk ground with metallic thread, producing a 260 gsm cloth that is heavy, lustrous, and falls in decisive folds.

Well suited to

Wedding and celebration dress
Formal shawls and wrapped skirts
Accent panels in designed garments

Care

Dry cleaning is strongly recommended
Never wring or twist, as this snaps the metallic thread
Store rolled rather than folded, so the gold does not break along fold lines
Iron on low from the reverse side with a pressing cloth

About the motif

Songket from Palembang is traditionally made by laying a supplementary thread into every row of the weave — slow work, and the reason this kind of cloth has always carried a higher price than plain weaving. This is one of the heaviest fabrics in our catalogue.
