OUR MATERIALS
Convinced that the finest products are woven from beautiful raw materials, Soieries du Mékong places great importance on the selection of its yarn suppliers.
Silk
This empress of noble materials, whose manufacturing secret was jealously guarded by China for over 2,500 years, is the only natural textile fiber with a continuous filament. It is harvested from the cocoon of the Bombyx caterpillar, also known as the "silkworm," and its appearance varies depending on how it is woven or processed.
Merino Wool
Exceptionally soft, merino wool comes from merino sheep, a breed originating from Spain renowned for the fineness of its fleece. Naturally supple, it is itch-free and offers incomparable everyday comfort.
Hypoallergenic and antibacterial, it is perfectly suited for sensitive skin and limits the development of unpleasant odors. Another major advantage: its thermoregulating capacity. It retains heat when it is cold, while allowing the skin to breathe, making it ideal for staying warm all winter without ever overheating.
Cashmere
Cashmere is a natural animal fiber, derived from the down of goats raised in Mongolia and the Himalayas. This material is light, soft, and warm. The silk-cashmere blend gives the scarf greater softness and an elegant drape.
line
Linen is a natural plant fiber from a 100% eco-friendly supply chain. It is highly resistant, thermoregulating, hypoallergenic, and antibacterial. The silk-linen blend features a lively surface thanks to the subtle irregularities of the slubbed linen yarn, a lustrous appearance, a cool feel, and a lightweight drape.
Cotton
Cotton is a natural plant fiber. It is soft, durable, and absorbent. The silk-cotton blend offers a more matte surface, a cool feel, and an airy drape ideal for mid-season or summer.
