Product Info

What is mulberry silk?

Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available, made from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves.

It is naturally soft, breathable, and smooth, with a refined luster that feels gentle against the skin.

At MaraSilk, all of our scarves are made from 100% pure mulberry silk — never blended, never synthetic.

We focus on material quality, thoughtful design, and lasting wearability.

Our scarves are not made to follow short-lived trends. Instead, they are designed with timeless patterns, carefully balanced colors, and a weight that drapes beautifully and holds its shape over time.

Many customers choose MaraSilk because they are looking for silk that feels luxurious — but also practical for everyday wear.

Yes.

Mulberry silk is naturally strong and durable when cared for properly.

MaraSilk scarves are designed to be worn regularly — whether styled around the neck, tied in the hair, or layered with outerwear. They are meant to become part of your wardrobe, not something saved only for special occasions.

To preserve the beauty of your scarf, we recommend:

  • Gentle hand wash in cold water, or professional dry cleaning
  • Use a mild detergent designed for silk
  • Avoid twisting or wringing
  • Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight

With proper care, a mulberry silk scarf will maintain its softness and appearance for years.

Mulberry silk is finer than many fabrics, but it is not fragile.

Our scarves are woven to balance softness with strength, making them comfortable to wear while still holding up well over time.

If you’re accustomed to wearing silk, MaraSilk will feel familiar — just more refined.

We take great care to photograph our products in natural, accurate lighting.

That said, slight variations may occur depending on screen settings.

If you ever have questions about a specific color or design, our customer care team is always happy to help before you place an order.

Absolutely.

A silk scarf is a thoughtful and timeless gift — one that feels personal without being overly specific.

MaraSilk scarves are suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or simply as a gesture of appreciation.

We understand that choosing silk online requires trust.

If you have questions before purchasing, we encourage you to reach out — we’re here to help you make a confident decision.

Our goal is not just to sell scarves, but to create pieces you’ll genuinely enjoy wearing.

Our silk is crafted by experienced artisans who specialize in mulberry silk production.

We focus on quality, consistency, and responsible sourcing, working with partners who share our standards for craftsmanship and care.

Pure Silk Fabric

Are Satin and Silk the Same?

No. Satin, in a strict sense, is a type of weaving method while silk is a type of natural fiber. Meanwhile, “satin fabric” is also used to represent “polyester satin”, for its market penetration.  

Satin can be made of various fibers, including silk and polyester,  but is woven by the same weaving method. Silk for another is made of silk fiber but can be of different weaving patterns, such as plain, twill and satin.

Opting for dry cleaning is a conservative choice. However, you can also choose to hand wash or machine wash it, following the care instructions.
Use a specialized silk detergent and wash the fabric with water below 30℃. Make sure to avoid vigorous rubbing or wringing.

After rinsing it thoroughly, gently remove any excess water with a dry towel and allow it to air dry in a cool and shaded area.

Both fabrics display distinct texture surfaces due to their different weaving techniques.

Silk twill fabric exhibits a subtle sheen and pronounced diagonal texture. Its structural texture enhances durability, making it ideal for projects that require shaping.

Silk satin fabric boasts a heightened luster and smoother surface, providing an elegant and captivating aesthetic. It is better suited for luxurious and sophisticated projects.

They are crafted from silk fibers, so both of them demand delicate care to preserve their exquisite appearance and ensure comfortable use.

Crepe de chine, from the French crêpe de chine, refers to crepe of china. Crepe de chine fabrics assume a uniform ripple texture. They can be made from natural fibers like silk and cotton, and synthetic fibers like polyester acetate, rayon and nylon.

Silk crepe de chine is a crepe de chine made of silk fibers. It can be traced back to Ancient China of thousands of years ago. Silk CDC was supplied for the noble class exclusively. What sets it apart is its soft texture and matte finish, giving it a distinct and uniform appearance while offering exceptional durability and versatility. That being so, it is one of the best fabrics for stylish garments and fashion decoration.

To maintain this delicate fabric, a thorough read of the care label is a must. Usually, dry cleaning is recommended for silk crepe de chine. However, it also withstands a gentle wash with cold water and tender detergent.

Yes,  we can. We are a manufacturer of silk chiffon fabrics, equipped with machines and technologies for dyeing and printing them. Made of silk fibers, silk chiffon takes up dyes well and can be printed with bold and pellucid patterns. 

Silk chiffon is extremely delicate. It can be hand-washed in a gentle touch and with cold water. Dry cleaning is recommended. 

Silk chiffon is slightly softer and smoother than silk crepe. And of similar weight and thickness. Silk chiffon is more transparent. 

Silk georgette fabric is airer and lighter, with a greater sense of translucency. In contrast, silk satin boasts a tightly woven structure and a heightened level of luster.

The main difference between these two fabrics is their weight and look.

Silk georgette fabric tends to be heavier compared to silk chiffon. It also has lesser sheer due to its thick ply. The drape produced is also less stiff with its heavy weight. However, it allows the garment to have more volume.

On the other hand, silk chiffon has more sheerness and is thinner, unlike silk georgette. Thus, garments produced using this fabric are flowier and softer.

The creation of silk jacquard fabric is far more complex than most weaving processes. From creating intricate jacquard cards to weaving delicate fabric, the process demands time, skill, and expertise. This complexity, coupled with the high-quality silk materials, explains its high price.  At Sinosilk, experience the luxury of silk jacquard at wholesale prices – buy by the meter or yard and discover the difference.

Yes, its tighter weave sets it apart from silk fabrics woven in plain or satin weave. This intricate construction not only creates a more refined look but also makes the fabric less susceptible to snags, while its thicker structure adds to its durability.

Silk jacquard, while slightly thicker than other silks, still provides excellent temperature regulation. Choose a lighter-weight silk jacquard fabric from Sinosilk, perfect for summer creations. Your customers will love its stylish comfort and cooling touch.

Like any other pure silk fabric, silk jacquard fabric requires careful care to avoid damage and prolong the life of the fabric.
