Online shop that sells real silk fabric remnants?
 
I am in search of an online shop that sells real silk fabric remnants? Does anyone know a good reliable shop?
Or if there exists shops that sell 1/4 yard or fat quarters in real silk?

If you are looking for bits for crazy quilt blocks, I once got trimmings from a bridal shop.
Fabric Depot has wonderful silks, they may not be on the site, but they are quick to respond to emails.

China has favored nation status & uses our cotton (Moda, etc.) but USA only gets nubby silk in fabric shops. Last time I checked it was against the law to sell raw silk here. Bridal shops, bedding shops, etc. order from France or other European markets at a great cost, but no Chinese direct shipments to the USA due to the trade agreement.
When we were living overseas I bought some but not enough to make a quilt, dang!

I shop thrift stores for real silk shirts (made in Asia, etc) & cut apart. Still collecting though.
Wishing you the best.

Silkbaron.com. If you don't mind random colors, they sell "grab-bags" -- 8 WOF quarter-yard pieces for $35-$40.

The original poster looks like they are living in Europe? I imagine different sources might be closer to home from there if you tried out google searches or ?
