End of the Silk Road

Article Abstract:

A report describes how an Italian silk-weaving company recycles its surplus silk at the end of a production run and converts the material into new furnishings and fashion fabrics. This successful 'concept store' called La Tessitura, which sells fashions and accessories from scraps, is the extraordinary outcome of the reconstruction of a 19th century textile factory in Como, Italy.
