Production

From the silk worm to the yarn

Silk is often praised, and justifiably so, as the queen of all textile fibers and a natural wonder. No other clothing raw material has so many fine qualities.  Silk is elegant, fine, precious and smooth. Silk fabrics create that pleasant coziness that makes people feel good; properties that also optimally fulfill the highest clothing demands of our bodies

Wonder of nature
