Not all silk is created equal. Beyond color, texture, and sheen lies a quiet detail that defines its true luxury — momme weight.
This simple number reveals the soul of your silk: how it feels against the skin, how long it lasts, and how beautifully it drapes through time.
Whether you crave the whisper of light silk or the richness of a heavier weave, understanding momme is the first step toward choosing silk that reflects your lifestyle — and your philosophy of self-care.
