Why We Choose Silk for Children:
Why Silk is the Perfect Choice for Your Child:
Silk is one of nature’s most extraordinary fibres—completely natural, biodegradable, and made from proteins—sericin and fibroin—that are wonderfully similar to those found in human skin. This makes silk not just soft, but naturally soothing and hydrating, helping little ones’ skin stay balanced, gentle, and healthy.Beyond its luxurious feel, silk is packed with benefits that make it ideal for children:
- Thermo-regulating: Keeps your child cool in summer and cosy in winter.
- Breathable and lightweight: Helps delicate skin stay dry, comfortable, and happy.
- Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: Naturally resists dust mites and irritation.
- Soft yet strong: Gentle on sensitive skin, yet surprisingly durable for everyday adventures.
With these qualities, silk is one of the most thoughtful choices for babies and children—perfect for sensitive skin and for families who value comfort, style, and quality in every piece of children’s clothing.
Where Our Silk Comes From
Our silk begins its journey in the lush southern regions of China, where mulberry silkworms are gently raised with care using traditional methods passed down for generations. Feeding on mulberry leaves, these silkworms spin delicate, fine cocoons—the source of this precious fibre.
Once harvested, the silk travels to Como, Italy, the heart of Italian silk craftsmanship. Here, in family-run mills, expert artisans weave, dye, and finish each fabric with meticulous care, creating luxurious, durable silk perfect for children’s clothing. Every step is guided by respect for tradition, quality, and the magic of natural fibres. We collaborate closely with our partners in Como to select only the finest silk fabrics, each chosen for its softness, resilience, and suitability for little ones.
Our most-loved types include:
- Crepe de Chine: Fluid and silky, perfect for delicate dresses and fine shirts.
- Georgette: Lightweight with a subtle texture, ideal for soft, playful silhouettes.
- Organza: Crisp and sheer, adding structure to special-occasion pieces.
- Satin: Smooth and luminous, a timeless favourite for elegant children’s wear.
Handmade with Love
Every silk piece in our collection is created to celebrate a moment in a child’s life—whether it’s a party dress, an heirloom blouse, or a sweet accessory. Each garment is designed in-house and often finished by hand, combining traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful detail. We believe clothing for children should be more than beautiful—it should be meaningful, comfortable, and built to last. That’s why our silk garments are made to be worn, loved, and passed down, from one sibling to the next.
