Materials and provenance

Tussar peace silk is a wild, non-mulberry silk handwoven in the Indian state of West Bengal, using the Ahimsa (non-violence) method: the silkworm is allowed to complete its metamorphosis into a moth before the cocoon is harvested, so no animal is killed in the process.

Its beautiful natural fabric is a true product of artisanal craftsmanship — hand-spun and hand-woven using a mix of wild silk threads from the empty cocoons. The variety of yarns used brings the fabric's texture to life, resulting in a fabric that possesses a unique character.

Everyday refinement

Layer it over a linen top on warm afternoons, or over a fine merino knit as the seasons turn — its open front and elbow-length kimono sleeve make it an easy, versatile piece rather than a statement one. This is refined, honest luxury meant for daily life, not display.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is Tussar peace silk vegan? Peace silk (Ahimsa silk) allows the silkworm to complete its natural lifecycle and emerge as a moth before the cocoon is used, so no insect is killed in the process — though it is not classified as strictly vegan, as it remains an animal-derived fibre.

  • How do I care for this jacket? Hand-wash at a maximum of 30°C with a gentle detergent for delicates or silk. Do not tumble dry or wring; line dry and iron at a medium (silk-setting) temperature.

  • Is this jacket made to order? Yes. Each jacket is handcrafted in our Como atelier once ordered; please allow 2 weeks for production before shipping.
