A crisp, plain-weave silk fabric with a distinctive slubbed texture created from irregular cocoons spun by two silkworms together. The resulting fabric has natural thick and thin areas that create visual interest and texture.
From Italian 'doppio' meaning 'double,' referring to the double cocoons created when two silkworms spin together. This 'mistake' in sericulture became prized for its unique aesthetic qualities in luxury textiles.
