What's 'Momme' for Silk and Why It's Important
May 6, 2025
Our story
SilkWide was founded as a family business with a vision of a truly remarkable quality silk products for everyday use. As simple people who just loved silk fabric before, we couldn't really understand - why it's so hard to find just like real, good quality silk? Even when we did find - the price just didn't seem right.
It made us curious so we decided just to find out one thing - is there a deficit of premium quality silk or it’s just the business owners who doesn’t want to invest in quality materials.
We found out...
Well, what we found out was … there is no deficit of premium quality silk. There’s even a demand for it but as we said before, it’s not that freely available. Why? It’s easier to persuade a buyer that your 19 Momme silk is “the highest quality premium silk” or “silk from heaven” while in reality it’s far off of a real ‘Premium quality’ silk.
It just didn’t seem fair so we jumped in silk manufacturing by ourselves and started right off with the highest available quality of silk - 25 Momme. As the time went on we understood that it’s even better to give a customer an option to choose - he want to go with ‘king of the silk’ (25 Momme) or he's here just to try it out and will start with something more simple like 19 or 22 Momme? Either option is good, it’s just nice to have an option, right?
Where it lead us?
We started growing rapidly month to month and got to a point where we are adding new products each month with different silk thicknesses, so our customers can finally have a choice of their own.
It seems like we accomplished something, but we feel it's just the beginning.
