Mulberry Silk - Finest Silk Luxury from a Millennia-old Tradition

The mulberry silkworm ( Bombyx mori ) has been the most important source of high-quality mulberry silk for over 5,000 years. Even in ancient China, the entire life cycle of the white silkworm was subjected to controlled breeding—and the technique of silk production was long a closely guarded secret. The caterpillars feed exclusively on mulberry leaves and spin a cocoon from a silk thread up to 1,500 meters long. In traditional production, the cocoon is boiled and the thread is reeled off. The result: mulberry silk with a very strong luster, soft feel, and high durability. Shorter fibers are processed into spider silk (spun silk).

In conventional silk production, the pupa dies in the cocoon. Therefore, we consistently rely on genuine Peace Silk – from animal-friendly breeding, where the butterfly is allowed to leave the cocoon alive. Without compromising on quality, ethics, or sustainability – for responsible silk luxury and the highest skin compatibility.

Tussah Silk - Wild Beauty with Character and Natural Structure

Tussah silk (Antheraea mylitta)
– also known as wild silk – originally comes from free-living tussah moths, whose cocoons were collected from trees and bushes. Today it is mostly cultivated under controlled conditions by silk farmers. Unlike mulberry silk, tussah silk is difficult to reel and degummed, which is why it retains its natural beige to reddish-brown color . The silk has a firmer feel , drapes somewhat stiffer, and displays characteristic irregularities in the thread path – similar to fine pencil lines. When it hatches, the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon, which makes it difficult to obtain long fibers. Tussah silk is a rustic, natural type of silk , valued for its expressiveness and original character – ideal for anyone looking for authentic, textured silk fabrics .

Eri Silk - The fluffy Peace Silk Alternative

Eri silk is produced by the tree of heaven moth ( Samia ricini) and originates from northeast India. Unlike traditional silk, the Eri caterpillar spins a cocoon with a natural opening, from which the butterfly can emerge alive. The result is a naturally soft peace silk—produced without compromise on quality or sustainability.

Traditionally, Eri silk has been cultivated by hand by tribal women for generations, particularly in Assam and Meghalaya. The caterpillars feed on castor or castor leaves, and the cocoon is cream to light beige. After hatching, it is collected and processed.

Eri silk is characterized by its thermoregulating properties , soft, woolly feel, and moisture-absorbing qualities—ideal for clothing, baby textiles, and home decor. It is durable, long-lasting, and warm to the touch—a sustainable alternative for conscious consumers .

Muga silk – Assam’s Golden Heritage

The precious Muga silk comes from Antheraea assamensis , a wild silkworm from Assam, India, and is known for its natural golden-yellow color and exceptional durability . For centuries, it was reserved for the nobility: Even in the ancient kingdom of Kamrupa, Muga silk was used as royal garments—historical sources attest to its royal status over 1,300 years ago.

This wild silk is characterized by an extremely durable fiber – Muga is the strongest natural silk of all and remains bright golden, even after frequent washing.

Unlike mulberry silk, Muga silk is marketed untreated: its natural golden hue develops without dyeing, and its elegant shimmer intensifies over time. This makes Muga silk a luxurious, durable, and authentic material —ideal for sophisticated fashion and textile applications.

The Silk Moth's - Origin of Natural Silk Diversity

Whether mulberry silk , tussah silk, eri silk, or muga silk , the various silk moths are the natural creators of a fascinating variety of materials. Each species produces unique silk fibers with distinctive properties: from the lustrous, finely layered mulberry silk to the natural tussah silk , the particularly soft eri silk , and the rare, golden shimmering muga silk .

Our silk comes from ecologically and animal-friendly farms—known as Peace Silk . This way, we combine nature, ethics, and quality in a responsible way.

The silk butterflies symbolize transformation, lightness and harmony with nature – and that is exactly what you feel in every
