Ethically made in Canada, from 100% imported Thai silk. 25% of all revenue (excluding shipping costs) goes to fighting human trafficking in Canada. 170cm long x 100cm wide. Rectangular shape with black fringe. Black warp threads and colored weft threads create a beautiful iridescent shine. Available in red and blue. The navy/black, royal blue, blue/gold, red, and silver color options are made of handwoven silk and are priced higher than the machine woven blue option.
In 2005, I went Thailand to teach English for a year. I encountered the realities of human trafficking there, and the powerlessness of the people whose lives are destroyed by it. Upon returning home, I realized that the problem is everywhere in Canada too, just more hidden.
By making accessories from imported Thai silk, I have found a way to fight human trafficking in both Canada and Thailand. Using Thai silk supports the Thai economy in a positive way, providing income that is not reliant on exploitation. To help survivors in Canada, 25% of all revenue (excluding shipping costs) is donated care packages for human trafficking survivors, and long term supports, in cases where police have been called.
Hand washing silk will result in a crinkle texture. Some people like the crinkle texture. Some prefer to dry clean, which keeps the silk smooth. Do not machine wash.
100% recyclable packaging.
Disclaimer: I have made an effort to provide product images that closely represent the fabric colors. However, due to all the possible variants (e.g. light source, monitor quality, etc.), I cannot guarantee that the fabric images perfectly represents the colors. Silk fiber is natural and at different dye lots colors may appear slightly different.
