Why Mulberry Silk is the Queen of Fabrics

Why Mulberry Silk is the Queen of Fabrics

When you touch a Wenzi scarf, you immediately feel the difference. It's cool to the touch yet warm against the skin, incredibly smooth, and has a luster that synthetic fabrics just can't mimic. This is the magic of 100% Mulberry silk.

What is Mulberry Silk?

Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available for purchase. It is produced by silkworms that are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves. The resulting thread is rounder, finer, smoother, and stronger than wild silk.

Benefit 1: Hypoallergenic and Gentle

Silk is a protein fiber, similar to human skin. It contains natural amino acids and is naturally hypoallergenic.

Benefit 2: Moisture Retaining

Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture from your skin, silk helps your skin retain its natural hydration.

Benefit 3: Temperature Regulating

Silk is a natural insulator. It keeps you warm in the winter by trapping a layer of air next to your skin, but its breathability keeps you cool in the summer.

Benefit 4: Strength and Durability

Despite its delicate appearance, a silk fiber is stronger than a steel fiber of the same diameter. With proper care, your Wenzi silk scarf can last for decades.
