SILK AND SUSTAINABILITY

Silk is biodegradable within a couple of years compared to hundreds of years for synthetic materials and doesn’t emit toxins while it biodegrades like synthetic materials do. Silk also has naturally healthy and hypoallergenic qualities. By bringing silk production back to local regions of the world experiencing drought and poverty like Meghalaya, a country in the north-eastern region of India, we can help create a new livelihood for women and their children while generating a larger market for natural peace silk.

There are different types of silk and different quality levels. Many department stores will carry thinner silk, while high-end designers typically carry a heavier weight. Look for designers who sell pre-washed silk pieces. Silk can be easily machine or hand-washed, however, the designer or manufacturer should account for some shrinkage in the design.
