Originating in China more than 5,000 years ago, Mulberry silk has long been considered the finest and most luxurious silk available. Prized for its supreme softness, elegant sheen and remarkable strength, it has been the fabric of choice for Royalty, designers and beauty experts for centuries.

Derived from the cocoons of the Bombyx Mori Silkworm, its quality is unmatched due to the silkworm’s exclusive diet of Mulberry Leaves. This specific diet creates long, uniform and strong fibres, resulting in a pristine and luxurious fabric. Each pound of Mulberry silk requires approximately 3,000 cocoons, making it one of the most labour-intensive and revered natural fibres on earth.

With qualities such as high strength, durability and softness, the fabric is frequently used for high-end products such as bedding and clothing. It is more resistant to wear and tear than other comparable fabrics, and can maintain lasting beauty and sheen, even with regular use.

The application of Mulberry Silk as a premium product extends far beyond its aesthetic and practical appeal, with the fabric also boasting several natural benefits.

Naturally Hypoallergenic and Skin-friendly

Mulberry silk contains Sericin – a natural protein that is kind to sensitive and allergy-prone skin. Its ultra-smooth fibres cause less friction than cotton, helping prevent irritation.

Supports Hair Health.

The natural qualities of Mulberry silk help to enhance the strength and softness of hair, without drawing out moisture, resulting in a smoother and shinier look.

Enhances Radiant Skin

Unlike cotton, Mulberry silk is non-absorbent, helping skin stay more hydrated for longer.

Temperature Regulating

Mulberry Silk naturally wicks away moisture and regulates heat, helping you to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. This is one of many reasons why silk is a popular choice for use as bedding products.

Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable

Mulberry Silk us a sustainable fibre, and when combined with non-toxic, certified dyes, maintains natural biodegradability.
