Stylish 'Suburban Silk' iPad Case for Apple iPad ~ Coordinating Laptop Cases Also Available!

1) 100% Thai silk costs 6-10 times as much as imitation silk made from polyester.
2) Our 100% Thai silk weave is completely hand made and the filament is a natural fiber with clearly visible small flaws and joins in the thread along the warp and the weft. Imitation silk made from polyester is a machine-made fabric and has a perfect surface with no flaws or bumps. 
3) Luster also shows whether a fabric is real or imitation. Our silk is made with one color for the warp and another color for the weft. This produces the sheen and luster of our silk and creates the unique two tones and blends which change depending on the angle of light. Imitation polyester silk shines white regardless of the angle of the light.
4) If you burn our 100% Thai silk (a thread or two is enough) with a flame, it leaves fine ash and smells like burning hair. When you take the flame away it stops burning. If you burn imitation polyester silk with a flame, it drips, burns with a black smoke, and continues to burn after the flame is taken away .
5) Look for a label or sticker says "Suburban Silk, 100% Thai Silk". If you do not see the "100% Thai Silk", it means it is not a 100% silk and is likely to be an imitation silk.

what is the difference between Suburban Silk and silk of other countries?
Our 100% Thai silk is soft but has a relatively coarse texture with uneven, slightly knotty threads. This quality makes it extremely suitable for weaving by hand. Our Thai silk has a magnificent, rich, exotic beauty and, with proper care, can last a century or more.

Chinese silk tends to be smooth and satiny. Indian silk tends to be soft but more crinkly and uses richer colors. Italian silk tends to strive for a refined and elegant look but this can easily be accomplished anywhere using mechanized weaving.

why is Suburban Silk so shiny and lustrous?
Our 100% Thai Silk has triangular fibers which reflect light like prisms. It also has layers of protein that gives it a natural sheen and makes it lustrous and smooth. Silk is an insect fiber and superior to any animal or plant fiber. Our 100% Thai silk fiber is strong but lightweight, elastic but supple.
