When we started Adam Leaves, we spent nearly two years building a fully local supply chain — sourcing every material we use, including this silk, through trusted suppliers based right here in Mumbai. This is one of the founding principles behind how we make sustainable clothing: a shorter, more transparent supply chain we can see and verify ourselves, from raw material to finished garment, all within the same city where it's woven, finished, and tailored by hand.

Silk begins with the silkworm, which spins a single continuous filament — sometimes over 1,000 metres long — to form its cocoon. The filament is carefully unwound, several strands twisted together for strength, and woven into fabric. It's one of the only textiles harvested as a single, unbroken thread rather than short spun fibres.

Silk drapes rather than clings, with a natural sheen that shifts with light and movement. It regulates temperature well — cool against skin in heat, insulating in cold — making it a rare fabric that works across seasons. Best reserved for pieces you want to feel a little special.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certifies that a fabric is genuinely organic at every stage — from how the raw fibre is farmed, to the dyes and chemicals used in processing, to fair labour conditions in the factory. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 independently tests the finished fabric for hundreds of harmful substances, so you can be confident nothing toxic touches your skin. Together, they're two of the strictest checks in the textile industry — not marketing claims, but third-party verified standards.

Hand wash cold in a mild detergent, or dry clean. Do not wring — lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight.
