HURRICANE IAN RELIEF Giving back to our community! This past Oct of 2021 one of our founders moved to Central Florida and this past week she and the family endure the effects of Hurricane Ian along with millions of Floridians. While they made it out with minimal damage many people along the coastal cities of the Gulf of Mexico weren't as lucky. Day after the Hurricane hit our team stepped up to pitch with countless other who on a local and state-wide level pitched in as well, because we all know it takes a village. All Silked donations went to https://www.volunteerflorida.org/donatefdf/ where to date First Lady Casey DeSantis has raised over $35,000,000 to help Floridians effected by the natural disaster. Sending so much Love...
Happy Fall Equinox! We just launched our new FAE FLOWER Eco-sustainable pillowcase sleeve, so we wanted to explore more of the printed color trends in 2022.

It is said that the muted colors of a flower bouquets give the flowers...

Of course we are partial to silk and love that it was included in the song "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story, because let's face it everyone feels pretty when silk is involved. (On a side note if you haven't watch West Story's 2021 the remake, you have to, it is so awesome.) This season brides are infusing classic silk into their special day and we are so excited. To take it one step further we wrote a blog last month about Silk Gift Ideas for the ultimate Wedding Party gift idea. Interesting facts about using Silk for Wedding dresses is it both cools and warms simultaneously, makes...
This time of year, florals and stripes typically rule so we decided to shake things up a little this spring with a seriously BOLD POP of PAISLEY! The term “paisley” itself refers to a curved teardrop motif originating millennia ago near present-day Iran and the Kashmiri region and is said to represent many forms of nature including flowers or uncurling palm shoots. Today paisley patterns remain prominent in home decor like bedding textiles and carpets in blends of shades that can be an opulent and refined nod to paisley’s extended history or a colorful and psychedelic homage to an iconic popularity it enjoyed in the late 1960s. Fun fact about paisley is it became an icon for psychedelic style when the Beatles took up with...
