Silvania is the revival of the fabric business created in 1956 in Lima, Peru by Georgia Kirkpatrick’s grandmother, Silvia. Silvia took inspiration from precolonial Peruvian motifs and turned them into her own colorful prints on cotton products. Silvania Clothing Design Philosophy 1. Classic silhouettes designed to flatter. Our dresses designed to complement a range of body shapes. 2. Made to go from work to play Our styles cut to be office-appropriate, yet they are festive enough for a night out on the town. Our fabrics are durable and easy to wash, so go ahead and wear them while you play with kids and pets. 3. Exceptionally comfortable Not only do we use some of the softest cotton you can find, our interlock has stretch, so you will never be pinched, squeezed, or rubbed the wrong way. 4. Easy to travel with Our organic pima cotton interlock is naturally wrinkle-resistent. Pull your dress out of your suitcase, shake it out, and put it on. 5. The highest quality materials and construction Pima cotton is renowned for softness, luster, and durability. We print our organic pima cotton fabrics with long-lasting dyes that won’t fade in the wash. 6. Easy to launder Our 100% organic pima cotton dresses are low-maintenance. Go ahead and toss them in the washing machine. Our fabrics are preshrunk (although excessive heat from the dryer can still cause some shrinking – use the cool setting!). They are also iron-friendly, although we doubt you’ll need it.
