I agree, displacement maps is way to go. create some Fractal Noise in a pre-comp, stretch it out a little in one direction. Then use that comp as a displacement map in your main comp. In addition, use duplicates of the comp to create the shadows in the grooves and the highlights for that silky feel. this can easily be done by adjusting contrast, blurring/ sharpening them and offsetting them to simulate perspective. Use Tint and Tritone to colorize them, if need be. as a last step, use Bezier Warp to bend your flag into shape.
