Natural silk - shirts, sweaters and dresses

Silk is the fine thread that the silkworm uses to spin itself into a cocoon. It pupates in the silk cocoon and hatches 20 days later as a moth. This thread, produced by the caterpillar's unique spinning glands, is the finest and most stable natural thread in the world. Silk is a protein fiber, which means it is very similar in structure to human skin. Therefore, silk is the optimal "second skin", perfect for delicate and reactive skin.

Silk is the fiber of well-being, pleasure and pampering, it ensures an unforgettable sensation and the ideal climate for the skin.

Silk is known for its shine, its charm and its value. But its properties go far beyond that. Silk is a protein fiber very similar to the structure of human skin, which is why it is truly like a second skin that nourishes, protects and soothes. For the same reason, it is the fiber with the best skin tolerability, perfect for sensitive and problematic skin.

Silk is a very fine thread but very stable and resistant. Thanks to its smooth and thin fiber, silk falls slippery and soft. Silk also has excellent insulating properties, when it is hot it gives freshness and when it is cool it warms the skin. So it is a garment that you can wear all year round and that gives maximum force in contact with the skin.

Silk can absorb about 30% of its own weight in moisture while keeping your skin dry. It can absorb large amounts of sweat while still allowing your skin to breathe.

Although it seems like a very delicate and fragile fiber, silk is actually robust and resistant and can be safely washed in the washing machine on a delicate cycle. Furthermore, its smooth surface makes it repellent to dirt and does not absorb odors.

SILK BURETTE

Burette silk is a special yarn that is not obtained by killing the silkworm but is obtained from the cocoon once the silkworm has emerged, therefore from damaged cocoons or production leftovers. For this reason it has a rougher and more raw appearance than traditional silk but equally beneficial on the skin, indeed more so. In this case the yarn contains even more sericin (or silk glue), a substance produced by the silkworm to protect itself, which is a powerful healing agent and gives burette silk powerful soothing, hydrating and calming properties on the skin.

TUSSAH SILK

Tussah silk is also called wild silk or wild silk because it is not obtained from the cocoons of farmed silkworms but from those of wild silkworms. It is very resistant and elastic, has an excellent ability to return to shape after prolonged use and is highly hygroscopic, so it absorbs humidity and dries quickly.
