Vegan Satin vs Silk #48

The raw truth

Vegan Satin

Vegan satin can be created out of plant-based materials such as polyester or cotton…

How though?

It is created out of low-twist yarn by using the process of twill weaving. The weft threads, which are four horizontal yarns, are covered by a single lengthwise yarn, leading to fewer interlacings, which gives satin its characteristic smoothness.

Not all Satin is the same!

There are various quality types of satin from the lowest to the highest. It all depends on how the fabric was weft or warped, techniques, and treatment!

Silk

The process of silk production is known as sericulture.

Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves.

Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.

Oh no!

This means caterpillars are killed in the process.

What’s the difference?

Whilst normal silk boils silkworms alive in their cocoons, cruelty-free silk allows the silkworm to emerge out of the cocoon naturally.

Cruelty-free silk is often called “vegan silk” even though the fibres are of animal source.

What do we use?

We use high-quality satin fabric on our bonnets which is cruelty-free and vegan.
