The Fascinating Origin of Silk
Silk, a symbol of luxury and refinement, has its origins over 4,000 years ago in China. Legend has it that Empress Leizu discovered the fiber by chance when a silkworm cocoon fell into her teacup. Fascinated, she understood the potential of this delicate thread, giving birth to the art of sericulture.
For centuries, China jealously guarded this secret, making silk a coveted treasure, traded across the Silk Road. Today, this timeless fabric continues to seduce with its softness, shine and rich history.
At Bonjour Cocotte , we reinvent silk by revaluing vintage luxury scarves to create unique iron-on badges and patches . An elegant and sustainable way to breathe new life into this precious material.
