Nila | Women's Silk Blazer

Behind The Design

The Nila Silk Blazer is a wearable masterpiece inspired by the interconnected life of our ecosystems. Its bespoke print acts as a living tapestry of leaves, branches, and earth-toned hues, echoing nature’s quiet rhythm from forest canopy to flowing water. Tailored to perfection, this luxurious garment reminds us that we are a part of nature, not apart from it. Its aesthetic purpose is boundless versatility: drape it over a silk inner-layer and matching trousers for formal elegance, pair it with a long kurta and denim for a fusion music event look, or layer it beautifully over an ivory pastel silk saree for your best friend's wedding.

How It's Made

Advanced Sustainable Printing: Engineered using reactive digital printing on biodegradable natural silk. This precise, energy-efficient technology drastically reduces water pollution and eliminates overproduction.

Enduring Luxury & Lifecycle: The high-quality Abutai silk ensures the garment enjoys a long, resilient lifecycle, providing extreme durability without compromising its feather-light feel.

Earth-Conscious Comfort: Combining low-waste tailoring with pure natural fibers creates a breathable, skin-friendly drape that actively protects the environment it depicts.

The Material Difference

Silk vs. Polyester

Life-cycle assessment · per kg of finished fiber · cradle-to-gate (raw material extraction through primary fiber processing)

Silk Polyester
Water 601–3,000 L 62–200 L
Energy 110 kWh/kg (≈396 MJ) 108–217 MJ
CO2 34.0–80.9 kg 2.0–27.2 kg
Source Renewable Fossil fuel
Fertilizer & pesticides Low to moderate None (industrial synthesis instead)
Microplastics None High
End of life Biodegradable Non-biodegradable

Better Moderate Higher impact

The trade-off: Silk is fully biodegradable and sheds no microplastics, but conventional, mechanised silk production is unusually energy- and carbon-intensive, driven by rearing silkworms and reeling/degumming the raw fiber. Polyester compares favourably on energy and CO2 here, though it remains a non-renewable, non-biodegradable synthetic.

Why the ranges vary: These figures reflect conventional, mechanised auto-loom silk processing — the industry-standard basis for most published data. Adam Leaves sources finished, hand-loomed silk fabric directly from artisan weavers, a slower, less mechanised process not separately measured in this dataset.

Methodology & data notes
  • Water: Silk's figure covers mulberry cultivation and the degumming (boiling) process used to extract raw fiber from cocoons. Polyester's water use is mostly for equipment cooling during chemical synthesis.
  • Energy: Silk requires significant energy for reeling and degumming raw cocoons, especially in mechanised production. Polyester relies on energy-intensive petroleum cracking and polymerization, but its per-kg figure is comparatively lower.
  • CO2: Conventional silk's emissions are driven by energy-intensive processing and sericulture (silkworm rearing). Polyester's emissions vary with the energy grid — coal vs. renewables — used in manufacturing.
  • Source: Silk is a protein fiber produced by silkworms feeding on mulberry leaves — renewable, but resource-intensive to process. Polyester is derived entirely from petroleum and natural gas extraction.
  • Fertilizer & pesticides: Mulberry cultivation for silk needs moderate fertilizer but relatively few pesticides. Polyester uses no agricultural chemicals, but its production relies on petrochemical catalysts and industrial processing chemicals instead.
  • Microplastics: Polyester sheds synthetic microfibers during washing, which accumulate in marine ecosystems. Silk is a natural protein fiber and does not shed plastic.
  • End of life: Untreated silk naturally decomposes. Polyester can persist in landfills for centuries, though it can be mechanically recycled.
