Silk is one of the most noble and ancient materials in the world. Originating from Asia, it has been used for over 4,000 years for its incomparable softness, lightness, and natural shine.
It is obtained from the silkworm, which produces an extremely fine and durable thread by weaving its cocoon. These threads are then delicately harvested, spun, and woven to create a unique textile that is soft, breathable, and durable.
Naturally thermoregulating, silk helps maintain a comfortable temperature, both in summer and winter. It is also recognized for its exceptional softness, particularly appreciated for hair and skin.
What is Momme?
The quality and density of silk are measured in mommes (mm).
Momme corresponds to the weight and density of the silk: the higher the momme number, the denser, more durable, and luxurious the silk is.
