faux silk
Polyester mimicking luxury
Faux silk is synthetic fabric made to imitate the look and feel of real silk.
Usually polyester or rayon, it offers a similar sheen and drape at a fraction of the cost: The curtains were faux silk but looked elegant.
The material is easier to care for than genuine silk, though it lacks silk's natural temperature regulation.
