The essentials of mulberry silk: why quality matters in every stitch
Mulberry silk isn’t just a fabric—it’s an experience of luxury and comfort. When choosing silk, quality makes all the difference, and at Tara Sartoria, we use only the finest 27 momme mulberry silk. Here’s a deep look at why quality in silk truly matters and what sets mulberry silk apart from other fabrics.
What makes mulberry silk special
Mulberry silk, known as the highest-quality silk available, has several unique characteristics. Its long, continuous fibers result in a durable, smooth fabric that drapes beautifully, creating an elegant yet durable material.
Mulberry silk is also hypoallergenic and breathable, making it a great choice for sensitive skin or humid climates. This luxury silk naturally repels dust mites and molds, offering a long-lasting option for those with allergy concerns.
Why it matters: When comparing silk qualities, mulberry silk stands out for its strength and comfort. Lower-grade silks often feel rougher and are less durable. Mulberry silk’s durability and softness ensure our silk products, like silk nightgowns and luxury robes, can be enjoyed for years.
Why 27 momme silk is a step above
Momme weight refers to the density and quality of silk. Lower momme counts, like 16-19, are often less resilient and thinner, whereas 27 momme silk, which Tara Sartoria exclusively uses, is thicker, softer, and more durable. This higher momme weight brings a luxurious feel and greater opacity, so it’s ideal for nightwear and robes that provide coverage and comfort. The result is a silk fabric that resists wear and tear much better than lighter silk fabrics.
Why it matters: Higher momme silk means greater durability and a smoother, heavier feel, making each piece not only more luxurious but also longer-lasting. Lower-quality silks are prone to pilling and tearing, while 27 momme silk holds up beautifully over time.
The sustainable side of high-quality silk
Investing in quality silk aligns with sustainable fashion values. Because 27 momme mulberry silk is durable, you buy less often, reducing waste and encouraging mindful purchasing. Tara Sartoria’s silk items are made with traditional craftsmanship, each piece featuring careful stitching and French seams for added resilience. Silk is also biodegradable, so when you do part with it, you’re choosing a material that leaves a minimal impact on the environment.
Why it matters: Silk pieces of high quality don’t just look beautiful—they’re made to last. Buying fewer, higher-quality items supports a more sustainable wardrobe.
Tara Sartoria’s silk nightgowns, robes, and pajamas exemplify how investment in quality materials benefits you and the environment.
Choosing quality silk is more than a luxury—it's a commitment to lasting style, comfort, and sustainability. Experience the Tara Sartoria difference by exploring our collection of mulberry silk nightgowns, robes, and pajamas to see why quality truly matters in every stitch.
