trees and animals enjoy a natural habitat among the silk farming plots.

The silk moths have undergone millennia of selective breeding and can no longer survive without humans. One kilogram of silk takes 10,000 silkworms and 250 to 300 kilograms of mulberry leaves to produce. The silkworms are hand-fed around the clock at the organic silk farm, and once they have eaten their fill, they will spin a silk cocoon, kokong, transforming the leaves into a splendid fibre. Caring for the people The farm is GOTS and BSCI certified, which means that taking care of the environment is not enough. These systems require an audit of the whole production chain by an independent third party with tracing available down to individual stages. The manual production method and high end product quality guarantee better earnings for the farm’s employees compared to industrial production. They work in a safe and fair environment. There are many steps to processing the silk before it lands on the workbenches of our professionals. Here in Artjärvi, we turn the world’s most valuable material into first-class and exceptionally skin-friendly garments for the whole family with nearly 40 years of experience.
