Silk has been a luxury product ever since it was discovered in China more than 5000 years ago, where the fiber originally had been reserved for the emperor himself. Today, China is still taking the lead in silk production (sericulture) from cocoons made by the larvae of the mulberry silkworm. Silk is an amazing fiber which, from its humble origins as a cocoon, undergoes a complete metamorphosis to become the most luxurious silk cloth. Silk has beautiful luster and is elegant, fine, precious, and smooth. It keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. Although silk is a rather delicate product in care, surprisingly, it is also the strongest natural fiber, comparable to a steel wire of equal diameter.

Silk is often rightly called the queen of textile fibers and a wonder of nature. No other natural textile raw material has so many qualities. Silk is fine, shiny and meets the highest physiological requirements for clothing. Silk textiles create a pleasant climate in which people feel good. Few other textile fibers combine fashionable and noble aspects so successfully with exceptional wearing comfort.
