From Piemonte with Love: How is silk made?

From Piemonte with Love: How is silk made?

Posted on

Have you ever wondered how silk, that soft and luxurious fabric, is made? Let's take a closer look at the fascinating journey of silk production, from its natural origins to the cozy sleepwear that graces our nights. 


The birth of silk

It all starts with the silkworm, a fascinating creature found in the hills of Piemonte. These special worms create their cocoons using very fine silk threads, a technique that people have been refining for hundreds of years. 


Craftmanship at work

Once harvested, the silk filaments are spun into yarn, ready to be woven into fabric. This delicate process requires precision and expertise, as each thread is carefully aligned to create the smooth, lustrous finish that silk is known for. 

Sustainability Matters

We believe in responsible sourcing and production practices, ensuring that our silk is not only luxurious but also eco-friendly. From our commitment to ethical labor practices to our use of natural dyes, every decision we make reflects our dedication to preserving the beauty of Piemonte and the planet. 


Italian elegance

Our dedication shines through in a range of silk accessories that embody Italian elegance. From silky pillowcases to luxurious sleep masks and scrunchies, each item is designed to enhance your comfort and style, bringing a touch of luxury and relaxation to your bedtime routine.
