**If you have our organic bamboo sateen sheet set, the ivory color will not be a perfect color match to our ivory silk pillowcases. Our bamboo sheets are draped in background of a few of the photos to show the slight color difference. The silk ivory is more of a creamy off-white compared to the bright ivory white in the bamboo sheet set.
About the fabric :
- Rare peace silk - also known as Ahimsa silk - is a process that allows the silkworm to emerge from their cocoon free and happy and complete their natural life cycle. The empty cocoons are then used to produce silk. Cruelty-free silk is not a vegan fabric since animals are used to make it, however, it's animal-friendly. Unlike traditional silk, silkworms are not killed in the process to make it.
About the texture:
- To our knowledge, the peace silk we source is the only cruelty-free peace silk satin - the first of its kind! Unlike traditional silk with a shiny satin texture, our peace-silk satin has a soft, lightweight texture with a creamy off-white natural sheen.
About the garment production:
- Designed by founder
- Garment made in Kansas City, MO by our contracted and payroll sew team. All sewers earn a living wage and work in an ethical micro-factory.
- Adjustable satin elastic band with rose gold hoop and slider
- Fabric is ethically made by small family farms in rural India
- Each garment was individually cut by hand, intentionally and slowly sewn with love and quality and requires many hours of labor. This USA made product is a true testament to slow fashion and ethical garment manufacturing. The only way we can compete with the cheap prices of fast fashion brands and offshore garment manufacturing is through quality production and fair wages to our entire team.
- Each mask is unique and may have visible imperfections due to the fact that a real human made it and wide woven silk is very difficult to work with :) - even for a sewer 30+ years in the industry.
Free cruelty-free silk bag included:
- Every piece from our cruelty-free silk collection comes packed in a cruelty-free silk bag. Bag ties are hand-made from recycled Sari silk and hand-dyed. When the silk fabric is cut and made into Saris, there's always a bit left over. From the fabric waste, the bag ribbons are made by women in cooperatives in India. The makers tear strips of fabric from the sari remnants to create less waste. We left the bag ties raw and unfinished - because imperfection is perfection.
About the garment care:
- Hand wash and hang dry only.
- Inside of mask is filled with 100% biodegradable and sustainable cotton. If machine washed and dried, cotton will break up inside the mask. If this happens, rub mask between your fingers to break apart the cotton filler. To prevent this, hand wash and hang dry.
- Do not bleach any of our products as bleach breaks the fiber of natural fabrics
- Recommend making a paste with oxi clean and vinegar for stain removal
