Material Philosophy · Grade 6A

From regions where mulberry is cultivated.

We accept only the highest-grade long-fibre mulberry silk, reserved for cocoons whose filament can be drawn out cleanly, without breakage. The reason is simple: how a silk quilt feels in ten years depends almost entirely on what went into it on the first day.

Long fibre · uninterrupted

We do not reel it onto bobbins or weave it into cloth. We leave it raw — perfectly imperfect — and stretch it into thin overlapping layers by hand.

Chapter · Hands

Artisans First

We work with farmers from the Yangtze Delta who still call their silkworms cán bao bao — silk babies. Each cocoon is sorted by hand, one tray at a time; each batch is washed by hand. The craft has been passed down in these villages for generations.

Why Silk · Properties of the Fibre

Cool when warm, warm when cool.

Silk does not invite dust mites. It does not breed microbes. It cools when the body is warm, warms when the body is cool. These properties belong to the fibre itself — they disappear the moment silk is processed into anything else.

Our silk is fed on organic mulberry leaves and selected as the longest, cleanest filament available. The fibre keeps its own texture, knotted where the silkworm knotted it.

The Four Pillars · Slow Craft

What a machine cannot do, slowly.

Hand-pulled silk filling has no industrial equivalent. The only way to keep the long fibre intact is to open it by hand, layer by layer, until the quilt is built.

Hand-pulled

A single skein, opened and stretched across the table — repeated thousands of times for one quilt.

Layered

Layer upon layer the floss is built into a cloud — uniform in weight, breathable to the touch.

Felt by hand

Each panel is pressed and read with the palm. Inconsistencies are corrected before the next layer.

Finished

When the surface is smooth and the corners full, the quilt is closed and stitched — a quiet completion.

02 — Anatomy

Three layers, nothing else.

A quilt is the silk plus the way it is held. Cotton sateen on both faces, a hand-pulled silk core in between, anchored only at the corners and a few discreet points along the panel — no machine quilting that would crush the fibre.

04 — Touch

Light enough to forget, warm enough to remember.

Silk regulates temperature against the body — cool at the edge of summer, warm through winter. It absorbs moisture without feeling damp. It does not gather static. These are not features; they are simply how the fibre behaves when it is left mostly alone.

07 — Questions

Frequently asked.

If something isn't covered below, write to us — we will answer plainly.

01 · About the Silk

What grade of silk do you use?+

All filling is Grade 6A long-fibre mulberry silk — the highest classification, reserved for cocoons whose filament can be drawn intact, without breakage. Cover fabric is 100% cotton sateen unless otherwise specified.

Is silk hypoallergenic?+

Raw silk is naturally resistant to dust mites and microbes, and rarely triggers fibre-related allergies. The protein structure of silk is close to human keratin. Most people allergic to wool, down, or synthetic fill are unaffected by silk.

02 · Care & Longevity

How do I clean a silk quilt?+

Do not machine wash the silk core. The cotton cover may be removed and washed normally. Air the silk core in a cool shaded place twice a year — never in direct sun, as UV damages the silk protein. Spot-clean small marks with a damp cloth. For full cleaning, use a professional silk dry-cleaner.

03 · Customization

What weights and sizes are available?+

Standard weights: 1.0 kg (summer), 1.5 kg (spring–autumn), 2.0 kg (all-season), 3.0 kg (winter). Standard sizes: 160×210, 200×230, 220×240 cm. Custom weights and sizes are produced to order.

Can I use my own cover fabric?+

Yes. For private label and OEM orders we can quilt your supplied cover fabric or source a specific cotton, linen, or silk cover to your specification.

Can the quilts carry my brand label?+

Yes. We do private label work — sewn-in labels, embroidered logos, custom hangtags, packaging and care cards.
