Silk
For centuries, silk has had a reputation as a
luxurious and sensuous fabric that is associated with
wealth and success. Silk is one of the oldest fibres known
to man. The Chinese have used it since the 27th century BC.
Silk is mentioned by Aristotle and became a valuable
commodity both in Greece and Rome. In the Roman Empire,
silk was literally worth its weight in gold. The unique
production process adds to the mystery and exclusiveness of
the fabric. It takes 5500 silkworms to produce one kilogram
of raw silk.
