This holiday season our team at Silked is launching an UNDER $30.00 category of MADE IN USA products.

Silked is proud to announce that we are now By Black Certified. When AMEX approached us to join their November "Shop Small Initiative for 2021" we were presented the opportunity to certify our business with them and the United States Black Chambers Inc.
