#TravelTuesday Is Ethical Silk Safari Chic?
Silk Pillowcases?
Until this year, one of my favorite products were silk pillowcases from Africa Silks, located in South Africa. Unfortunately, they no longer are carrying them.
Taking to the internet, I found the amazing “The Ethical Silk Company”.

Ethical Silk?
I’d never heard of “Ethical Silk”. How can silk be ethical?
According to The Ethical Silk Company’s website:
…[they] found a particular mulberry silk production, made in India, that extracts the silk from the cocoon after the moth has left the cocoon. It is not a wild silk as all mulberry silk is farmed through a production known as sericulture. The result of the production is a beautifully rich mulberry silk (momme weight 19) which, because of the particular way it is produced, is more like a fine linen with a beautiful matte lustre rather than the shiny finish of traditional silk.
Perfect! The texture and finish is what I had loved about my silk from Africa. Now, I have gorgeous pillowcase that also align with my values and adherence to Sustainability & Conservation.
I love the beautiful, all natural gift wrapping.
Definitely Safari Chic!
