The people

Founders

SilkWide

Armīns Vilmenietis & Diāna Bilaņina

Co-founders

Armīns and Diāna started SilkWide in 2024 as a small family project in Riga, Latvia. It began with just a few essentials - silk scrunchies, sleep masks and a couple of pillowcases - and one simple idea: to make the everyday luxury of real mulberry silk accessible to more people.

Today the range covers silk accessories, sleepwear and bedding, shipped to more than 3,000 customers worldwide. The business is still run by the two of them, and they still check every piece before it leaves for a customer.

“Silk shouldn’t be a once-a-year luxury. We wanted to make something people use every single night, from silk good enough to last for years.”Armīns Vilmenietis & Diāna Bilaņina, co-founders
