The story behind the textile.

Satin is a weave structure known for its smooth, light-catching face. Its distinctive lustre comes from how yarns pass across the woven surface; satin can be made from different fibres.

The label “Japanese Satin” is used commercially for various lustrous fabrics, but the label alone does not establish that a particular fabric was woven in Japan. The finish and supplier specification are what we will confirm for each MOKSHA design.
