Unveiling Silk’s Subtle Glow: The Secret Behind Pearl-Like Lustre and Skin Feel

Touch silk lightly and you'll notice it isn’t mirror-bright, yet when light sweeps across, a gentle halo emerges — a pearl-like “micro-glow.”
TOWNSSILK selects premium-grade mulberry silk and, through modern craftsmanship, locks in the fibre’s innate refraction magic, letting this delicate sheen flow quietly through bedrooms, wardrobes and journeys as a discreet signature of quality living.

The Pearl-Like Micro-Glow of Silk

• Soft, never harsh: light is repeatedly refracted and diffused inside the fibres, creating layered softness.
• Richer colours: the natural halo intensifies hues — darker tones feel composed, lighter tones feel airy.
• Instant brightening: the micro-glow softens skin tones and interior light, enhancing home and social scenes.

The Optical Secrets Inside Each Fibre

• Triangular cross-section: every mulberry silk filament acts like a tiny prism.
• Fibroin crystal zones: orderly β-sheet structures form “light tunnels,” deepening refraction.
• Natural coating: a sericin layer wraps the surface, further polishing the sheen.

Lustre That Feels Good on the Skin

• A friction coefficient below 0.2 minimises sleep creases and tugging, caring for skin and hair.
• Breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping a steady, dry comfort throughout the night.
• Wear a silk scarf or shirt for an instant soft-focus filter that refines everyday style.

A Home Light Experiment

• Prepare: a 19-momme plain silk piece and your phone’s torch.
• Action: sweep the light at a 45° angle across the fabric and watch the bright spot ripple like water.
• Compare: repeat with ordinary polyester — the glare is sharp and flat, lacking gradation.

Daily Care Rules

• Hand-wash in lukewarm water with a silk-specific detergent; avoid alkaline powders.
• Lay flat to dry in the shade; direct sun can embrittle the proteins.
• Iron inside-out under 110 °C with a cloth to guard the lustre.
• Store completely dry in a breathable cotton bag, away from mothballs and sharp metal.

Silk’s micro-glow is nature’s clever gift, refined by artisans. Choose a TOWNSSILK silk pyjama set, scarf or bedding to let that pearl-like sheen breathe through each day — understated yet radiant.
