This shade is made from the grandaddy of silk - Dupion. And to think it all started out with a friendly little worm spinning its stuff. Dupion has a beautiful lustre that simply cannot be replicated from man made processes. This Taupe colour is one of those classic neutrals that can work in pretty much any environment.

Sometimes this silk has small imperfections - known as slubs - where two threads of silk yarn are twisted together a little more thickly than usual. Slubs happen, and should be celebrated as a reminder that silk is a natural, organic and beautiful fibre...not grumbled about! We hope you love and live happily ever after with your glorious Dupion silk shade. And if you made it this far...

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Miles ★★★★★

The taupe shade perfectly softens the light in my reading nook, and the silk's subtle sheen adds just the right amount of elegance without being flashy. It was easy to fit onto my existing lamp base.

Emily ★★★★★

The dupion silk has such a rich, subtle sheen that it catches the light differently from every angle. I paired it with a brass lamp base and the taupe shade creates a warm, sophisticated glow that transforms the whole room.

Robert ★★★★★

The dupion silk has that unmistakable lustre that shifts in the light, and it makes my whole living room feel a bit more polished. The 40cm size is a perfect statement presence without overwhelming the lamp base. It arrived well-packed and the stitching is clean.
