For many people sleeping on silk is essential, for others like myself, the hype is very compelling- better for your hair, and skin, and much more hygienic! However, not super ethical with little to no regard for the creatures that create the silk.

Enter The Ethical Silk Company- producing all their silk in a post-moth, ethical manner. At the end of the sustainable harvesting, they have beautifully rich mulberry silk. Due to the particular way it is produced the silk is more like fine linen with a beautiful matte luster rather than the shiny finish of traditional silk. – More ethical with a side of luster for the win!
