Uncompromising silk quality
At Silk Couture, we are proud to offer mulberry silk of the highest quality. Our commitment to quality, comfort and customer satisfaction runs deep – experience the well-being that only real mulberry silk can give you.
A passion for the highest quality
For over 15 years we have devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to products made from 100% pure, high-quality mulberry silk. In a market that often seems opaque and is shaped by mass production, we hold on to one principle: to offer only the very best quality.
We produce sustainably in small, traditional workshops – far away from the mass market, where craftsmanship is deeply rooted. Every piece that leaves us tells a story of craftsmanship, the highest quality and dedication.
Our quality promise
The most valuable part of the kilometre-long silk fibres is the middle. At Silk Couture we use exactly this middle section – with the greatest care. This is what sets our silk products clearly apart from those of other suppliers.
Inferior mulberry silk uses the end sections of the thread. The product is still 100% mulberry silk, but its quality is not comparable.
Naturalness
The softly shimmering, pearl-white colour is clearly different from the artificial white of other manufacturers. And while many silk fabrics have an unpleasant chemical smell, our silk keeps its natural scent.
We guarantee 100% genuine mulberry silk: the silkworms are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, we avoid chemical additives at every stage of production, and the silk is harvested by hand.
Silk centres rich in tradition
Our products are made exclusively in traditional silk centres with ideal ecological conditions. The mulberry plantations grow under the best possible conditions – which contributes significantly to the highest possible quality.
Because we draw on a silk tradition thousands of years old, our products are softer and more supple than conventional mulberry silk. We visit regularly to exchange ideas and check the quality in person.
Handcraft
Production is done by hand – from feeding the silkworms to processing the cocoons and shaping the silk fleece.
The suppleness comes from the length of the silk fibres: the long, smooth threads are 50 cm or longer and have no hard fibre ends that could irritate the skin. This makes our duvets and bed linen particularly soft, durable and elastic.
Durability: a question of momme
Momme is the measure of silk density (1 momme = 4.3 g/m²). Ordinary silk fabric has only about 12 momme – light and thin, but not very durable.
Our fabric is still feather-light – but considerably more durable and longer-lasting.

Sustainable, traditional & fair
Tradition, sustainability, fair working conditions, good pay and the highest quality are fundamental to us. That's why we don't work with large mass producers, but with small, traditional workshops.
Traditional businesses work at their own rhythm, developed over generations. If that means a workshop pauses in the summer heat, we accept it – because quality and fair conditions matter more to us than tight deadlines.
Because natural substances are used at every step – from fertilising the trees to washing the fibres – our silk duvets are fully ecological and even compostable at the end of their life.
