Oh, luxurious silk! What comes to your mind when you think about it? The divine sensation of the fabric that feels ultra-soft and smooth against your skin? Its incredibly gorgeous looks and drape? And maybe the feeling like pure royalty when you are wearing it?
Whatever silk represents for you, I have absolutely no doubt that you want that experience to last a lifetime! That’s how amazing it is! And, it’s completely possible. With the proper protection and storage, your silks can last even more than a hundred years! (read more about how to wash silk here) Those precious items can look and feel just as beautiful as they do right now, as when you pass them down to your grandchildren!
I’ve worked with high-quality Japanese silks for years now, finding and bringing vintage pieces into my one-of-a-kind work. I just love the ancient beauty, magic, and stories that come along with these long-lasting, well-preserved fabrics! Take a look at my Peony Queen Empire Dress, which has a bodice from a 100-year-old hand-painted silk kimono belt and a bright orange skirt from a 70-year-old kimono! Or, peek at my Grass and Chrysanthemum Boho Bag, which is created from three vintage silk obi belts - one of which was 90 years old!
The Japanese people definitely know a thing or two about caring for and storing precious silks. They’ve cultivated their secrets over centuries! Did you know that their silk creations date all the way back to 300 AD? That’s a long time to pick up this pure art form! And, I’ve always wanted to share this wisdom with anyone who has the pure pleasure of owning silk clothing, bags, or scarves!
