Is Silk Plastic-Free?

A naturally occurring protein fiber spun by the larvae of certain silkworms, prized for its smooth texture, lustrous sheen, and exceptional strength.

Uses: Traditionally used in luxurious clothing (dresses, gowns, lingerie), but also popular in scarves, home textiles (curtains, bedspreads), and upholstery.

Good to know: Silk is often referred to in clothing by its weave, such as chiffon, Crêpe de Chine, noil, faille, satin, Charmeuse, and many others. Unfortunately, these terms are also used by clothing manufacturers using synthetic materials, so confirming you are buying real silk is important.
