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 one to 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?
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
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?
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.
