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 by 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.

Aurora K. ★★★★★

The texture of the dupion silk is what sold me—it has that subtle, uneven slub you can feel when you run a finger across it, and the taupe catches the light beautifully at dusk. It’s smaller than I expected at 9.5cm, but that actually makes it perfect for my bedside lamp where a bigger shade would’v

Alexander ★★★★★

The tapered shape sits perfectly on my lamp base, and the dupion silk catches the light with a soft, expensive-looking sheen that changes as you walk by. It's exactly the warm, elegant glow I was hoping for without being too formal.

Ella ★★★★★

The taupe dupion silk has that subtle shimmer you can't get from cheaper fabrics, and it catches the light beautifully when the lamp's on. Shade fits snugly on the base and gives off a warm, even glow that's softened the whole corner of my reading nook.
