Fall in love with the silk range at Cienna Designs
It’s summer and we always get a lot of love for our silk ranges around this time of year. They’re perfect for combatting the heat in the Australian summer, but did you know they’re also perfect for year-round wear?
We’ve taken a look into WHY we love using silk fabrics, with some of our favourite silk designs at Cienna Designs to back it up!
Why we love using silk fabric
Silk fabrics make for absolutely gorgeous designs. They take a little more work, a little more love, and a little more care, but the results are always stunning. They make for a gorgeous wardrobe staple, great for implementing into any outfit, whether you’re going for a cute and casual vibe or want to make a statement on a night out.
But the thing about silk fabrics is that they’re not just gorgeous, soft, or really easy to wear. They’re also ideal for any season (and climate), are great for your skin, and good for the environment too.
The secret is in the natural breathability and absorbance, as well as its temperature-regulating properties that’ll cool you down in the summer, but still keep you nice and cosy in the winter. Silk is also biodegradable and is a renewable resource - unlike other materials.
It makes silk fabrics an absolute dream to work with and wear, and we’re never surprised by the demand we see in our online store for silk.

The Cienna Designs silk kimono range
At Cienna Designs, we work hard to implement silk fabrics where appropriate and there’s no better design that supports the use of this environmentally-friendly fabric as a kimono.
Silk is already a popular fabric for kimonos thanks to its draping quality and the wrinkle-free properties. But we also love that it keeps our kimonos great for all seasons, soft on skin, and enables us to create some stunning styles.
Just glance at these best-selling silk kimonos we can’t get enough of!
This Tropical Kimono is a stunning style made from a silk/viscose in the most eye-popping digital print. With silk beaded tassels, this free size is an absolute winner!
We love this Western Duster, it features beautiful cherry tones with aqua blends and makes for a stunning statement in any setting. It also comes with a matching sash!
This Jolene Duster comes with a matching sash and is an absolute stunner! With beautiful base colours of olive in a gorgeous stunning vintage floral print, you'll have no trouble making a statement!
The Cienna Designs silk shirt range
We’ll never stop loving our silk kimonos, but we do have to share the love with our incredible silk shirt range.
We recognise that the hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating properties of silk make them a perfect fabric for shirts. But this gorgeous fabric also works to make these styles super versatile and oh-so-elegant, and we figure we should make them more accessible and more exciting than ever before.
