Designed and created by the designer herself, Dea Kudibal stretched her creative flair from a young age, being brought up by a family of artists. In 2003 the brand started by selling beautiful silk scarves and quickly developed into a beautiful clothing line. The signature stretch silk quality, combined with ethnic prints and handmade details makes this brand a must-have!

The stretch silk quality has become a signature for Dea Kudibal and while most silk is recommended to be dry clean only, Dea Kudibal’s luxury and high quality, along with the great durability has made the stretch silk super easily maintainable, you can simply machine wash all Dea Kudibal Silks! If you choose to machine wash then do so on a slow silk setting at a maximum of 30 degrees, always best to wash with cold water!

However, if you choose to hand wash the pure stretch silk do so at a maximum of 40 degrees to not damage the silk. When doing so always make sure there is no bleach in the detergents and that it is suitable for silk fabrics. It is very important to make sure that you turn your silk inside out and do not scrub or stretch the silk while wet, this can result in the silk stretching and losing its shape. Instead of scrubbing to get the stains out we say leave the garment in the water to soak for up to 30 minutes, this is plenty of time to release all dirt and oils from the fabric.

Wet silk is super fragile and will stretch if hung on a hanger so to dry the silk garments best to lay them flat and air dry. If you wish to speed up the drying process lay the silk garment flat in between 2 cotton towels this way they will help absorb the moisture from the silk.

Once dry, do not iron the silk, the heat will damage the soft fabric fibers. The high quality of the Dea Kudibal silk means you shouldn’t need to iron the garment however If there are some stubborn wrinkles you wish to remove then steaming slowly in a downwards motion will relax the silk fibers and even out any wrinkles, soon as that is done your Dea Kudibal silk garments will be looking fresh and new ready!

The FLS21 Dea Kudibal collection is inspired by the Famous Silk Road, Ancient China. Drawing inspiration from the scorching heat found in the Sand Dunes burnished by the sun, the cultural locals and the stunning tropical nature.

Handcrafted and cherished pieces have been combined with elements of safari-esque items that create a warm romantic ambience.

The prints, silhouettes and patterns in the FLS21 collection are influenced by the sensitive, bohemian spirit of travellers and traders along the Silk Road.

The Silk Road is an ancient trade route that linked China to the West.

The traders carried many goods and brilliant ideas between civilisations. The road not only helped move Silk but ideas, culture, innovations and many other products across the world.

The Name Silk Road derives from the fact that Silk cloth used to be one of the main products that was traded between many kingdoms.

The Silk Road was over 4,000 miles long. Trade mainly contained luxury goods as it was impossible to travel heavy, so the goods had to be of high value.

The stretch silks quality has become the signature for Dea Kudibal. The luxury of the quality, along with the great durability has made the stretch silk an essential part of every collection.

A fascination for the ethnic culture has always been a part of the brands identity, hence the exclusive materials and refined handmade details such as embroidery and beadings.
