Wonderfully soft baby bodysuit in stretchy Bourette silk jersey

Give your baby’s delicate skin something special – with this wonderfully soft bodysuit in 100 % natural Peace Silk, natural white, skin-friendly because it is undyed. The fluffy Bourette silk jersey is pleasantly stretchy and nestles gently against your baby’s body without restricting it.

  • Soothing company: can accompany sensitive, irritation-prone baby skin soothingly
  • High sericin content of Bourette silk: may help counteract bacterial growth and support the skin’s natural regeneration
  • Fluffy-soft: thanks to the jersey construction – stretchy, nestling, never tight
  • Skin-friendly: undyed – no dye chemistry on delicate baby skin
  • Breathable: absorbs up to 30 % of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp, and releases it readily – drawing less moisture from baby skin than cotton does
  • Temperature-regulating: warms when it is cool, cools when it is warm – can reduce excessive sweating
  • Cruelty-free Peace Silk: the cocoons are processed only after the moth has emerged

Please note: the bodysuit is cut small, so we recommend ordering two sizes up. The fabric may shrink slightly when washed.

Washable: hand wash or wool cycle up to 40 °C with silk detergent, do not spin – iron gently to refresh hygienically.

In a review (Polymers, 2022), sericin – the natural silk protein that is particularly abundant in Bourette silk – showed antibacterial properties in the laboratory.

What Makes Our Silk Special?

Our silk is Peace Silk:

It is elegant, animal-friendly, and purely natural.
The caterpillars are allowed to complete their metamorphosis.
They hatch as butterflies and continue to live.
Only then is the cocoon spun.
For a respectful approach to life.
Silk of timeless elegance and pure origin.

Ethical Rearing & Production

Our Peace Silk – made with love and responsibility:

  • Silkworm rearing takes place in the open, under natural conditions – free of chemicals and hormones. The caterpillars live outdoors and are not fed artificially.
  • Our silk feels pleasant on the skin – even on sensitive skin.
  • Silk is obtained cruelty-free. The moth hatches before the cocoon is spun.
  • Eco-conscious: dyeing is one of the most water- and chemical-intensive steps in textile production – we skip it for our natural white and cream silk fabrics.
  • By buying directly from our partner workshops we support fair conditions, mutual appreciation and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship in smallholder structures.

What Makes Silk So Good?

  • A good climate for skin and scalp: silk is temperature-balancing – it warms when it is cool and cools when it is warm. It can reduce excessive sweating.
  • Related to skin: like our skin, silk is protein-based – pleasant even on sensitive skin.
  • Valued with house dust mite allergies: the dense fibre structure offers dust mites far less habitat than many other textiles.
  • Smooth surface: gentle on hair and skin, especially woven as satin or smooth silk jersey.
