The Story

Our Praya Midi Dress is made of pure mulberry silk, machine woven by Samniang Thai Silk cooperative in Pak Thong Chai, Thailand. The production of our mulberry silk is a combination of traditional and modern techniques to offer high-quality silk while supporting community sericulture projects. 

  • Silk yarn sourced from the most trustworthy silk producer in Thailand, Chul Thai Silk, who supports over 2000 Mulberry silk farmers.

  • Woven by a local family with a small community mill in their backyard.

  • Mill personally visited by us to ensure safe working conditions.

  • Hand-dyed using certified safe, low impact dyes. 

Fabric Care

To ensure your silk retains its charm and beauty for many years to come, we recommend the following:

Care

Take care to avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight when storing the product as this may cause colour fading and/or shrinkage. We recommend storing the product in a cool, shaded and dry place at all times. 

Cleaning

Dry-clean only. Wear more,  clean less! Iron inside out on a low heat.

Hand-Dyed

As with all hand-dyed products, some colour variation within and between items is normal. Hand-dyed products may bleed slightly when wet, so please follow cleaning instructions carefully.
