Sustainability
At Shhh Silk we strive to create quality products that don't cost the environment. We are always looking for sustainable solutions or alternative methods to support the planet we call home.
Made-To-Order
At Shhh Silk, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality silk products while minimising our environmental impact. Our innovative made-to-order retail manufacturing model is at the heart of our mission to do good for the planet, offer cost savings to our customers, and uphold our commitment to slow conscious retailing. Join us in our journey to make a positive change, and learn about the numerous advantages our approach brings.
- Eco-Friendly Production:
At Shhh Silk, sustainability is woven into every thread of our business. By hand crafting each product made to order, we significantly reduce waste in the manufacturing process. This eco-conscious approach means less excess inventory, fewer resources used, and a smaller carbon footprint, making a substantial contribution to our planet's health.
- Cost Savings All Year Round:
Our made-to-order model allows us to pass on significant cost savings to our valued customers. You can enjoy savings of 25% compared to traditional retail prices, 365 days of the year. We believe in making luxury accessible without compromising on quality or sustainability.
- Quality Assurance:
We take pride in using the highest quality 6A pure mulberry silk for all our products. Designed in Australia, our silk pieces are crafted with meticulous attention to detail to ensure they stand the test of time. When you choose Shhh Silk, you are investing in lifetime quality products, contributing to slow and conscious fashion.
- 100-Night Trial:
We understand the importance of a good night's sleep. That's why we still offer a 100-night trial on our silk pillowcases. We want you to experience the luxury and comfort of our products, risk-free. If you're not completely satisfied within the first 100 nights, we'll make it right.
- Made to Order, Made to Last:
Our made-to-order model aligns perfectly with our brand ethos that "doing good is in our DNA." While we prioritise sustainability and quality, please note that our commitment to producing each item with care means that the timeframe to receive orders is approximately 4-6 weeks. We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to create the perfect product just for you.
At Shhh Silk, our made-to-order retail manufacturing model is more than just a way of doing business; it's a commitment to making a positive impact on our planet, delivering cost savings to our customers, and offering you the finest quality silk products. Join us in supporting slow and conscious fashion while enjoying the luxury and comfort of our lifetime quality items. Your journey to better sleep and sustainable living begins here.
Biodegradable
Silk is made to last years on your bed but only spend a short time on the planet. Silk is very durable, however, your pillowcases may eventually need replacing due to general wear and tear. Silk is a natural, biodegradable fibre, so your old silk pillowcases can be composted and returned to the earth.
Non-Toxic
You sleep on your silk pillowcase for approx. 8 hours each night, so we use silk fabric with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which ensures every component including our silk, dyes and thread is tested for harmful substances.
Plastic Free Packaging
In 2021 we reduced our plastic production by ½ tonne per year by changing to plastic-free packaging. Our packaging is FSC certified and uses materials that are sustainably sourced. While our beautiful cylinder packaging is 100% recyclable, it is designed to be repurposed as stationary storage, a sunglasses case, a makeup brush holder and more!
Scrunchies From Offcuts
We try to minimise our fabric waste in production as much as possible. That's why we use the offcuts from pillowcases and silk sleepwear to create our silk scrunchies. This sustainable solution reduces waste and excess fabric and creates stylish hair accessories for our customers to enjoy.
Natural Fibre
Silk is a natural fibre with less impact on the environment than many other fabrics. Silk is a renewable resource, can biodegrade, and uses less water, chemicals, and energy than many other fibres.
Slow Fashion Production
We believe in quality, natural and sustainable fibres. We also believe in quality over quantity; taking the time to really understand what customers want and creating only products that are loved for their quality, sustainability and longevity. We produce small, curated collections which avoid mass production, overconsumption and waste. This is why you will notice we often have pre-order on our website, to reduce mass production.
