That's why we differentiate our silk fabrics with the following attributes
All fabrics are organic and are produced according to one of the strictest natural textile standards currently available. All production companies are certified (spinning, dyeing, knitting, weaving and sewing). Since the retailer chain is not fully certified, we unfortunately cannot offer the fabric as "GOTS certified". It is nevertheless of high organic quality, which guarantees you the highest possible standard for ecological and social sustainability. The textile chain from silk farming to the counter is ecological, sustainable and fair.
Silk fabrics with the "Peace Silk" label are made from silk that is obtained according to the principles of ethical silk production without killing the silkworm. The caterpillar can complete its metamorphosis and leaves the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. Only then is the cocoon processed. This silk is also called Ahimsa silk. Ahimsa means "non-violence". Peace Silk is always made of organic silk and is mainly certified.
Due to its very fine and smooth fiber structure, silk falls supple and soft.
What makes silk so special?
The chemical structure of silk is very similar to our skin and is therefore particularly skin friendly and ideal for allergy sufferers. Silk is said to have skin-soothing properties.
Information on the topic of silk allergy
Naturopathic doctors recommend silk especially for skin diseases. Silk has been shown to provide relief from irritated skin and accelerates wound healing. The high proportion of silk glue (sericin) in bourette silk has a skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory effect. Bourette silk is therefore used particularly for diaper and nursing pads as well as baby clothing. Babies and children with neurodermatitis or psoriasis cannot control the scratching of their skin, especially at night. Treat your child to comfort and protection from scratching without restricting freedom of movement.
Silk keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. It is therefore perfectly wearable in both summer and winter. Silk can absorb about 30% of its own weight in liquid without feeling damp. It therefore absorbs body sweat very well and allows the skin to breathe. Silk is robust in many ways. Thanks to its smooth surface, it is dirt-repellent and insensitive to odors. Silk is tear-resistant and has the greatest elasticity of all natural fibers.
