Patterned Silk Moire Fabrics from Anatolia
Discover our collection of patterned silk moire fabrics, rooted in the traditional textile heritage of Anatolia. Known as Kutnu, these distinctive Turkish textiles combine silk and cotton with woven stripes, patterns and the characteristic moire effect.
At Anatolian Textures, our Kutnu-inspired fabrics are made with a 50% silk and 50% cotton blend, offering a natural alternative to the synthetic moire fabrics commonly found on the market. Their distinctive sheen, woven patterns and tactile texture make them particularly suitable for fashion, interiors and collectible textile projects.
What Is Silk Moire Fabric?
Moire fabric is recognized by its characteristic watermark-like or wavy surface effect and subtle sheen. In our patterned collection, this effect is combined with traditional striped and woven designs inspired by Kutnu textiles from Turkey.
The moire effect is created through the finishing process after weaving, giving each fabric its distinctive surface appearance. Depending on the design and production method, fabrics can vary in weight, texture, drape and thickness.
Traditional Turkish Kutnu Textile
Kutnu is a traditional textile associated with Gaziantep and the wider Anatolian weaving heritage. Historically known for its colorful stripes and elaborate woven designs, Kutnu has been used for garments, ceremonial textiles and decorative applications.
Our collection brings this textile heritage into contemporary design through a range of striped, patterned and Ikat-inspired silk moire fabrics.

Silk & Cotton Natural Fiber Blend
Our patterned Silk Moire fabrics are made from 50% silk and 50% cotton. The combination of natural fibers gives these textiles a distinctive balance of softness, texture and subtle sheen.
Each design has its own combination of colors, stripes and woven patterns. Because these fabrics are produced through specialized weaving and finishing processes, variations in texture and appearance may occur between designs.

Patterned Silk Moire Fabric by the Yard
Every design in this collection is cut by the meter (39.4 in, about 1.09 yd), so ordering patterned silk moire fabric by the yard is simple: one meter covers a little more than a yard, and multiple meters are cut as one continuous length.
Choose Your Silk Moire Fabric
Our collection includes a variety of striped and patterned designs, from colorful multicolor stripes and Ikat-inspired patterns to more subtle combinations of silk and cotton. If you are unsure which fabric is suitable for your project, we recommend ordering a fabric swatch first to experience the color, texture, weight and drape in person.
