There’s a reason silk has proliferated the clothing world for thousands of years. Originally produced in China, the oldest silk specimens date back to 3,500bc. Silk is a textile made from the cocoons of cultivated silk worms. The fibers taken from the worm cocoons have a prism structure that allows the fiber to refract light at different angles, giving woven silk its shimmery appearance.

When silk was first produced, it was a priceless commodity reserved only for royal adornment. Over hundreds of years however, silk production systems advanced to a level of sophistication that allowed for cheaper and more efficient production, allowing it to gain global popularity. Sheer and lightweight with vibrant colors, silk shawls have exclusive characteristics that cannot be found in any other material.

• Helps regulate humidity and moisture. Can absorb up to 30% of it’s weight in moisture without feeling damp.
• Strongest natural fiber, with high tensile strength that makes it tear and wrinkle resistant
