MANUFACTURING

We (literally) circled the globe looking for a manufacturing partner that was both reliable and would produce high quality silk bandanas. We ended up at the source: CHINA.

CHINA HAS A RICH HISTORY AS THE OG PRODUCERS OF SILK, WITH THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES OF THE FABRIC DATING BACK 8,500 YEARS.

Silk farming is credited to Chinese empress Leizu who, according to legend, discovered silkworms while having afternoon tea and was enchanted by the slowly unraveling cocoon that fell into her drink. Today, China is the global leader in silk manufacturing, producing more than 50% of the world’s silk using techniques that were perfected in secret thousands of years ago.

 

Our bandanas

are digitally printed, which means ZERO wastewater since there isn’t a run-off stream. Recently, China has been putting strict manufacturing regulations into place and our partners are happy to comply using environmentally friendly dyes.
