Silk is excellent for the skin - it's gentle, insulating and breathable and has been used for generations and across cultures as the ideal next-to-the-skin layer and Alkena's organic mulberry silk is simply the best.
Moreover, the poppers used by Alkena are nickel-free!

Alkena Silk
Alkena is a Swiss company who have set up a biodynamic regeneration project, near ChengDu in China. Doing so, they brought traditional silk-making skills back to the region. We were very excited to discover this positive work and the very high quality silk clothing coming from it. The silk is organic silk certified by IMO.
