Originating over 2,000 years ago, this sheeny fabric was the stuff of royal trousseaus, Marie Antoinette’s court, and Givenchy’s gowns. However it was seen in more contemporary iterations at the seasons passed. Since then, satin has been long-associated with lavish dressing and the fabric of the royalty. From formal satin dresses, gowns, handkerchiefs, gloves and more, this fabric has reigned as the epitome of feminine style and sophistication.
