Our blog features our picks of the freshest vintage items, member news and articles. We have also created a growing series of articles on some classic designers.

The silkworm (Bombyx mori) produces its cocoon of silk fiber which is made up of two proteins: fibroin, which is the core of the fiber, and sericin, which is the gum that coats the fiber. The gum is the glue that holds the fibers together to form a cocoon.
For the production of fabric, the sericin-coated fiber is called raw silk. The sericin is removed either at the yarn- or the fabric-making stage.
