Temporary pause on our modal/silk fabric option for Scarves

We are temporarily suspending the modal/silk option for scarves due to an issue from the fabric manufacturer. Here's what you can do in the meantime while we work to replace this stock.

We are incredibly proud of the many options we offer for ordering in silk scarves. From 100% silk and silk blends to our polyesters, we've always believed that giving you the most options for your products is how you get exactly what you want from your custom printed products and your ultimately your product line. You have the control over how your products come together.

The modal/silk scarf fabric has always been perfect for people who want added warmth and weight to their scarves while preserving their airiness. Since it's one of our heavier fabrics, it has different properties than the silk habotai or the silk charmeuse.

Unfortunately, we recently received a large restock in the silk/modal fabric that didn't meet our high standards. We tend to restock this fabric in large batches twice per year so when a batch doesn't meet our standards, it has a jarring impact to our supply.

We're actively working with the supplier to correct the issue. In the meantime, we are removing the modal/silk as an option when ordering your scarves. We don't have an exact timeline yet for when it will be replaced, but will announce one when we know more.

We apologize for the impact this may have to your product line. We'd encourage you to review our other fabric options in scarves. If you regularly order the modal/silk, we are happy to send you swatches of our other available fabrics free of charge to help you make the switch. The other fabrics are:

  • Silk habotai: 100% silk. Our lightest silk at 8 momme with a matte surface front and back and a high print-through (85-95%) to the backside.
  • Silk charmeuse: 100% silk. Our medium weight silk at 12 momme with a shiny front surface and matte back. The print-through is about 70-85% to the backside.
  • Satin charmeuse: 100% polyester with a shiny front side and matte back. Excellent durability and wrinkle resistant. The print-through is about 70-85% and is classified as a vegan alternative to silk.
  • Matte crepe: 100% polyester with a matte front and back. Excellent durability and wrinkle resistant. The print-through is about 65-75% to the backside and is also a vegan alternative to silk.
  • Polychiffon: 100% polyester with a light airy feel and high durability. Polychiffon is a very transparent fabric and has a high print-through of 80-95%.
  • Coming soon! Cotton/silk: A 75% cotton/25% silk voile fabric which is medium weight and a gorgeous combination of high quality cotton fibers and silk. With a stiffer finish than the other scarf fabrics, it's perfect for bandanas and robust draped scarves.

If you'd like to know more about the scarf fabric options or get free swatches to help you make your decision, please contact our customer service.

Thank you for your understanding! Quality is hugely important to us since we want your product line to shine and we look forward to resolving the modal/silk as quickly as possible.
