Silk is renowned for its exceptional qualities of softness, thermal regulation, and durability. At Maison de la Soie, we offer two types of natural silks for our duvets: Mulberry silk and Tussah silk (or Oak silk).
While both offer superior and natural comfort, they have specific characteristics that can influence your choice depending on your needs, budget, or tactile sensitivity.
