- Silk from domesticated mulberry silkworms is a strong, naturally organic fiber.
- Regulating body temperature and rich in protein and amino acids, silk is hydrating for skin and hair. Silk is also hypoallergenic and antibacterial.
- Most silk that is produced is rain-fed. The Mulberry trees that are grown to feed silkworms sequester carbon from the atmosphere and require less water than cotton.
- Silk doesn’t require harsh processing, soaking silk simply requires soap, soda and water.
- The by-products of silk production are also utilised, with pupae being eaten by people or used as animal feed and sericin used in cosmetics and medicine.
- Our silk comes from farms in China, where our fabric visits them regularly.
- Communities that work with silk have created a cycle that feeds itself, where silk waste is given to feed the fishes in the ponds nearby, and the mud from those ponds is used to fertilise mulberry trees, which in turn feed the silkworms.
- Sericulture or the silk industry has always employed rural populations, where most of the income goes back to the farmers.
Wash your silk as little as possible; it can be enough to wash silk only a few times a year, as it’s self-cleaning. To reduce washes, you can air out your garment, steam, hang it up while showering or use a delicate fabric refreshing spray. Remove stains right away by spot cleaning. Handwashing is recommended. Silk is a delicate fabric, so to maintain its original luster, color and avoid signs of wear, choose dry cleaning.
If you choose to machine wash, wash at a maximum of 30°C on a hand wash program with a spin cycle of no more than 800 revolutions per minute. Use a laundry bag to protect the fabric from damage, and fill the laundry bag no more than halfway. Wash silk with other delicate fabrics and turn inside out to reduce friction on the surface. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric.
Use enzyme-free, pH-neutral laundry detergent. Enzymes in regular detergents break down protein-based fibers like silk.
Hang dry, silk cannot stand tumble drying.
