Fold over Envelope-Style Closure
Ensures your pillow will not slip out. This method uses more silk fabric than other methods such as button or zipper closure but lasts much longer and does not risk catching hair or pulling on the delicate fabric.
22momme Fabric
Like any other fabric, thread count is an important factor in quality. For silk, instead of thread count quality and "thickness" is measured by weight - referred to as "momme". 16momme or lower is typically only used for delicate and gently used items like decorative scarves. 19momme can be used for bedding however this weight of fabric wears out faster and is more difficult to wash and care for without damage. 22momme has approximately 20% more silk per square inch than 19momme and is considered the Gold Standard for pillowcases, with a durable silk weight that helps maintain its signature lustre.
100% Mulberry Silk
Mulberry silk is spun by the silkworm Bombyx mori which has been fed exclusively leaves from the Mulberry tree. The silk produced has a specific prism structure to the fiber and does not contain any unpleasant odors that can come from the silkworm grazing on different vegetation. Mulberry silk is considered the highest quality for textile bedding and garment use. Make sure that any silk bedding you purchase is labeled at 100% Mulberry Silk as some manufacturers blend Mulberry silk with other types of cheaper silk.
100% Silk on Entire Pillowcase
Our silk pillowcases use the exact same premium quality silk fabric on all sides. Always be sure to check as many pillowcases use lower quality silk on one side, or even non-silk fabrics like polyester.
