Silk
Origin: China
Certificates: Oeko-Tex

• 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.
