About Us
Welcome to SILK BASE, where comfortable basics meets luxury.
Made from 100% mulberry silk jersey, our pieces are so soft and lightweight with a bit of natural stretch, it feels like a second skin!
Our silk starts off from a cocoon spun by little silkworms with one single thread, the fine thread is then extracted and spun into yarn which then gets produced into fabric.
At SILK BASE, we use knitted silk jersey fabric, that is soft, stretchy and matte - unlike the usual shiny woven silk fabric counterpart.
Why silk?
Not only is silk hypoallergenic, breathable, odour resistant, naturally great at regulating temperature, and moisture wicking, it also contains some surprising health benefits.
Silk contains a unique protein called silk sericin which contains 18 essential amino acids and is believed to form a layer of protection over the skin, stimulate collagen production and help promote skin hydration - essentially "skincare" for your skin.
One garment four seasons
Silk is a great temperature regulating fabric that is known to keep you dry and cool in the summer months, and warm yet light in winter months.
Why wear "silky" basics when you and wear soft real silk basics.
