Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available for purchase. The unique thing about Mulberry silk is how it is produced. Local farmers grow mulberry leaves for silkworms to feed on. The resulting cocoons are spun into raw Mulberry silk fibres. The resulting silk is some of the finest available in the world. Mulberry silk is more refined than other types of silk. Other types of silks such as wild silk are less uniform in colour and texture, with shorter strands. Products made from 100% Mulberry silk are among the most durable and most luxurious silk goods.

One of the unique benefits of Mulberry Silk is that it is 100% natural, odourless and hypoallergenic.

The History of Silk

Silk has been known to man for approx. 5000 years. Its discovery is attributed to Xiling, wife of the Chinese Emperor Huang-Di.

This is how the story of one of the most elegant natural fabric success got started.

Silk came from China to Persia, Korea and Japan. Up until the 13th century silk was only available as an oriental import and only very wealthy people could afford it.  In Europe, while under Norman Rule, Southern Italy became an important centre for breeding silkworms and spinning silk. For a long time Italy remained the leading silk country in Europe until France expanded its silk weaving in the middle of the 17th century and surpassed Italy.

Compared to the world's total fibre production, silk fibres only make up less than 1%.
