What is mulberry silk?
Mulberry silk comes from the Bombyx mori silkworm, a species whose diet consists exclusively of leaves from the Mulberry tree. The finest silk in the world is grown and woven in China, where they've been making silk for more than 4,000 years. Mulberry silk threads are the highest quality that exist. They are smoother, stronger, and more uniformly coloured than any other variety of silk. A single silk fiber is stronger than a steel fiber of the same diameter.

Why choose silk over satin or other fabrics?
Mulberry silk a natural breathable biodegradable fibre. It is smooth and friction-free. It helps eliminate bed head, frizz, and sleep wrinkles while allowing skin and hair to retain precious moisture, something satin can’t provide. It is also naturally heat stable so it is cool in the summer and warm in the winter and it is hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial as well so perfect for sensitive skin. Satin is actually a man made plastic fibre, it’s bad for the environment and contains many harmful chemicals. Often marketed as “vegan silk” it unfortunately holds none of the benefits of silk. If you’re looking for the pinnacle of luxury and beauty our 100% Mulberry silk products are for you.
What grade of silk do you use for your products?
All of our silk products are 100% mulberry silk and between 22-30 Momme grade 6A. (the highest quality)
Is your silk cruelty free?
Our silk in particular is a by product of the food industry in China. Silk worms are a delicacy and are often consumed by cancer patients or those will other illnesses due to the nutrient rich benefits they offer. Although silk has been controversial as of late due to the idea that the worms are bred and killed purely for the production of silk this is not the case for all. Although not vegan our silk helps reduce waste from the food industry.
