Silk

Silk
Origin: China
Certificates: Oeko-Tex

  • Silk from domesticated (mulberry) silkworms is a strong, naturally organic fiber. It was the first fiber used to make cloth.
  • Regulates body temperature and is flame retardant. 
  • Dries eight times faster than cotton, doesn’t use pesticides and has less of an impact on land, water, and air. Most silk that is produced is rain-fed.
  • Rich in protein and amino acids, silk is good for skin and hair. It even aids in hydrating skin and hair. Silk is also hypoallergenic and antibacterial.
  • The by-products of silk production are also utilised, with pupae being eaten by people or used as cattle feed and sericin used in cosmetics and medicine.
  • Our silk comes from farms in China, where most of the world’s silk is made. Our fabric supplier has a long-term relationship with these farms and visits them regularly.
  • The Mulberry trees that are grown to feed silkworms sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
  • Sericulture or the silk industry also employs rural populations.
