Busting the Myths: Why Silk Is More Practical Than You Think
Silk has carried a reputation for centuries: luxurious, yes, but also fragile, fussy, and only for “special occasions.”
At Tara Sartoria, we know better. In fact, silk is one of the most practical, hard-working fabrics you can own. Let’s bust a few myths.
Myth #1: Silk Is Fragile
Truth: By weight, silk is stronger than steel.
High-quality silk fibers have an incredible tensile strength - which is why silk has been used for everything from parachutes to surgical sutures.
With proper care, silk garments can last for decades.
Myth #2: Silk Requires Dry Cleaning
Truth: Silk existed thousands of years before dry cleaners.
The best silk can be hand washed in water — no chemicals needed.
At Tara Sartoria, our 27-momme mulberry silk is washable with nothing more than a gentle shampoo.

Myth #3: Silk Is Too Delicate for Everyday Wear
Truth: Silk is one of the most practical everyday fabrics.
It regulates temperature, breathes, and resists odors.
That means you can wear it longer between washes, and it works in every climate - cool in summer, warm in winter.

Truth: Silk is low-effort, high-reward.
It dries quickly (often overnight), takes up almost no suitcase space, and comes out looking polished with minimal fuss.
For travelers, it’s the ultimate performance fabric in disguise.

Beautiful silk robe.
This is a beautiful robe from Tara Sartoria. The fabric is stunning - made of 27 grade momme 100% natural mulberry silk. It has a luxurious and lightweight feel that is a joy to wear. I chose the "Black Peacock" style and the hand-loomed jacquard silk is really showcased. It has a beautiful subtle pattern and sheen that adds visual interest to the otherwise neutral black.
