Our Silk

According to the legend, pure silk was discovered by a young Chinese Empress in 2700 BC.  For almost 5000 years, silk has been one of the most valuable threads in the world, giving its name to the infamous trade route, "The Silk Road," which stretches from East China to the Mediterranean. Silk is derived from the cocoon of the silkworm named Bombyx Mori; approximately 1000 meters of silk thread can be found in a single cocoon. One of the sturdiest threads in the world, silk not only contains 18 amino acids that are compatible with the skin but also maintains skin moisture and is hypoallergenic. 

The Benefits of Silk

Breathability:

Silk is a natural protein fibre that is both lightweight and breathable. This means that it allows air to circulate through your body, keeping you cool and comfortable even on the hottest summer days. Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can trap heat and moisture, silk allows your skin to breathe, preserving the skin’s youth and elasticity

Moisture-wicking:

Not only does silk allow air to circulate, but it also has natural moisture-wicking properties. This means that it can absorb moisture from your skin and quickly evaporate it, keeping you dry and comfortable. So even if you break a sweat in the summer heat, your silk shirt will keep you feeling fresh and cool.

Sun protection:

Silk is also a great choice for protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. It has natural UV resistance, which means it can block out a certain percentage of the sun's rays. This makes it a great choice for outdoor activities like hiking or spending a day at the beach.

Style:

Elevate your wardrobe with the timeless allure of silk, a fabric synonymous with sophistication and refinement. Whether adorning yourself in a silk blouse for a polished office look or donning a silk scarf as a chic accessory, incorporating silk into your wardrobe lends an air of understated luxury and timeless style.
