Mulberry Silk
Pure Mulberry Silk Cultivated in Southeast China
Walk in the world's finest and softest silk
Mulberry silk is produced through the cultivation of silkworms, an activity that dates back about 5,000 years in China during the Bronze Age civilization.
For thousands of years, the Chinese kept the secret of silk production, making their product extremely valuable and sought after in international trade. In our quest for the world's most precious yarns, we couldn't help but offer socks knitted with this wonderful thread.
Origins
A Royal Yarn
Mulberry silk has always been considered a luxury fabric, appreciated for its softness, sheen, and durability. It was a good reserved for the upper classes and nobility in many cultures.
It was one of the main goods traded along the historic Silk Road, a famous trade route that connected East Asia to Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. It is precisely to the Silk Road that we have dedicated our "Marco Polo" socks, woven from pure mulberry silk. A creation that combines the craftsmanship of Made in Italy with the ancient skills of the Chinese textile world.
Natural Fiber
Superior Quality
Mulberry silk is a natural fiber of the highest quality, with unique luster and softness. Its properties make it perfect as one of the most exclusive yarns for the production of luxury socks.
Besides its renowned softness, mulberry silk offers exceptional comfort thanks to its breathable properties, which help keep feet dry and fresh all day long.
Its thermoregulatory properties keep feet warm in winter and cool in summer, making the socks suitable for all seasons.
Properties
Delicate Fibers
Mulberry silk is a hypoallergenic natural fiber, ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies, reducing the risk of skin irritations.
Silk, being a natural fiber mainly composed of proteins, possesses hypoallergenic properties that make it suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
Soft and smooth to the touch, in the case of socks, for example, it reduces friction between the fabric and the skin. It thus guarantees a true five-star experience for the wearer.
Properties
Eco-friendly
Like all types of silk, it is a natural and biodegradable fiber. Therefore, it helps reduce the environmental impact in sock production compared to synthetic fibers.
The yarn naturally decomposes in the environment without leaving traces of pollution.
This characteristic makes it more eco-friendly compared to socks made predominantly from synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, which can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, contributing to soil and water pollution.
