Silk, the Undisputed “Queen of Fibres”

From the ancient Silk Road to contemporary couture, mulberry silk has long signified refined taste. TOWNSSILK works exclusively with 100 % pure silk, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern engineering. Here’s why this remarkable fibre still defines luxury—and why it belongs in your wardrobe.

Skin-Kind by Nature

• 18 amino acids mirror the protein structure of human skin—perfect for sensitive types.
• Triangular filaments bend light into a soft pearl sheen that flatters every complexion.
• Microscopic air pockets trap 38 % still air, creating a natural thermal buffer.

Colour That Lives Inside the Fibre

Dyed with OEKO-TEX®-certified reactive colourants, our shades penetrate the core of each filament. A gentle acid bath then fixes pigment, cutting fade by 35 % compared with conventional methods.

Built-In Climate Control

• Moisture regain of 11–15 % wicks perspiration for a cool, dry feel.
• Natural sericin screens > 95 % of UV-B, protecting both skin and fabric.
• Low static build-up means lint and dust don’t cling.

Lighter Than You Think, Stronger Than You Imagine

Gram for gram, silk rivals high-grade steel in tensile strength while weighing only a fifth as much. Precision warping on German Karl Mayer frames and weaving on Italian Somet looms give TOWNSSILK fabrics their signature drape—light, never flimsy; soft, never fragile.

Luxury With a Clean Conscience

• Mulberry trees fix CO₂ more efficiently than common hardwoods, without pesticides or fertiliser.
• Silk is 100 % biodegradable, returning to soil within 6–24 months under composting conditions.
• Our supply chain meets ZDHC and Bluesign® chemical protocols, minimising ecological impact.

Craftsmanship, Reimagined

Beginning with A6/A5-grade cocoons, each garment passes four stages—reeling, weaving, finishing, hand-refinement. A 72-hour low-pressure steam pre-shrink and 30 finishing checks ensure quiet confidence in every seam.

Everyday Care, Simplified

1. Hand-wash or machine silk cycle below 30 °C with pH-neutral detergent.
2. Add 1 % white vinegar to the final rinse to restore pH and enhance lustre.
3. Press out excess water, then hang inside-out in shade; avoid tumble heat.
