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.
