Frequently Asked Questions
Does vegan silk fabric shrink after washing?
Yes, vegan silk fabric can shrink 3 to 5 percent on the first wash if exposed to hot water or tumble drying. Cold hand wash, delicate machine cycle, and flat shade drying minimise shrinkage and protect the satin surface.
Is vegan silk fabric suitable for Indian summers?
Yes, vegan silk fabric is well suited to Indian summers because Bemberg cupro is more breathable and moisture-absorbent than pure silk or polyester satin. The 110 GSM weight stays light and cool against the skin through warm days.
What is the price of vegan silk fabric per meter?
Vegan silk fabric price per meter in India is ₹450 for SU-BB-102 at 110 GSM and 56 inch width. Bulk pricing for orders above 100 meters can be requested directly from the wholesale team.
How is vegan silk fabric different from real silk?
Vegan silk fabric is plant-based or regenerated cellulose, while real silk is an animal protein fibre produced by silkworms. Vegan silk like Bemberg breathes better, costs less per meter, and avoids welfare concerns linked to conventional sericulture entirely.
Is Bemberg vegan silk fabric biodegradable?
Yes, Bemberg vegan silk fabric is biodegradable because it is a regenerated cellulose fibre derived from cotton linters. At end of life, undyed Bemberg cloth breaks down in soil, unlike polyester satin which persists in landfills for decades.
