Custom Pantone Dyed Silk Charmeuse
Charmeuse = Silk Satin — Same Fabric, One Source
"Silk charmeuse" and "silk satin" refer to the same fabric — 100% silk woven with a satin weave. Western markets use "charmeuse," Chinese factories say "silk satin" or "crepe satin." If you've sourced silk satin before, our charmeuse is identical. Always confirm composition is 100% mulberry silk — "satin" alone often means polyester.
12mm to 30mm — Every Weight for Every Product
We stock charmeuse across the full momme range. 12–16mm for scarves and linings. 19mm for pillowcases and pajamas — the most popular weight. 22–30mm for premium bedding and luxury sleepwear. Each weight available undyed, dyed, or printed. Request sample swatches at multiple weights to compare before committing.
Print-Ready Surface — Digital and Screen Printing

Silk Charmeuse Fabric — Properties, Selection, and Care
What Is Silk Charmeuse?
Silk charmeuse is woven from 100% mulberry silk using a satin weave. Warp threads float over three or more weft threads, creating a glossy front and soft matte back. In trade, silk charmeuse, silk satin, and crepe satin all describe this same construction.
How Momme Weight Affects Your Product
- 12–14mm: Lightweight, semi-transparent. Scarves, shawls, linings.
- 16mm: Classic mid-weight. Scarves, blouses, standard pillowcases.
- 19mm: Most popular for pillowcases and pajamas.
- 22mm: Heavier, more opaque. Premium bedding and pajamas.
- 25–30mm: Maximum thickness and color depth. Luxury bedding.
