Silk

Sheen    Luxurious    Delicate    Breathable


Silk is a natural material, and the fabric is woven from thread consisting of silk fibers. Mulberry silk is considered one of the world's most luxurious materials and makes up most of the global textile production of silk. The name derives from the silkworm, which only eats the leaves of mulberry trees, and the silk fiber is obtained from the cocoon that the silkworm spins for itself.

About silk

Silk is perhaps mostly known for its exclusive feel and beautiful luster. A silkworm makes a cocoon that is 2–4 cm in diameter and from this you can produce up to 3000 meters of raw silk. During the manufacturing process, the double fibers are split separately with a triangular shape, allowing light to be reflected and adds luster to the finished garment. Silk fabrics are sensitive to friction, sweat and strong chemicals, but the silk fiber itself is surprisingly strong and with the right care, a silk garment can stay beautiful for a long time.


There is a long tradition of using silk textiles and in China the material can be traced back as far as 4000 years. The luxurious and beautiful silk fabrics were unique trade goods and came to Europe through the Silk Road. Although China is still the largest producer, you can also find large silk producers in other parts of Asia and to some extent in Europe.

For our women's collection, we always design a capsule of silk garments. The material is used in blouses, dresses and skirts, which may be worn for a sophisticated office look, or for a more festive occasion. Our most popular silk fabric is a blend, consisting of 95% silk and 5% Spandex. By adding a percentage of stretch material to the silk base, the fabric becomes more durable, resulting in a comfortable garment, which allows more freedom of movement. We also work with a silk and viscose mix, which gives a slightly heavier fabric, better suited for tailored garments. Lastly, most of our accessories from scarves and pocket squares through to ties in different patterns and colors, are made from 100% silk.
