FAQ

Frequently Asked Question

What makes Moonchild® different from other silk brands?

We believe in silk pillowcases that are as soft on the planet as they are to the touch. The use of toxic chemicals in the conventional textiles industry and the rise of fast fashion has led to excessive water consumption, animal exploitation, water and air pollution. We’re here to show that there’s a different way, with a new era of silk that is planet-friendly, gentle on the skin, cruelty-free, vegan-friendly and ultra-soft. After all, don’t we all sleep better with a clear conscience?

We travelled the world to source the finest quality silk, the most sustainable textiles processing methods and the most skilful tailors. The result: the ultimate in ethical luxury - it’s a difference you can feel.

Learn more about our story.

Will a Moonchild® silk pillowcase fit my memory foam, tempur or neck pillow?

To find the right size for your favourite pillow, measure the maximum span and divide by two. This ensures that both heights and length are included. If necessary, fold any excess fabric underneath on the inside.

What momme is Moonchild® silk?

Our special organic silk has twenty-two momme. We choose the softest density to maximise the beauty-enhancing benefits for skin and hair. Momme is a unit of weight, not a quality criterion. The thicker the silk, the less soft it will be.

Did you know that conventional silk often contains polyester blends and a silicone finish to make it look shinier? Or that chromium or barium are added to the fibres to make it heavier, as silk is traded by weight? Only certified organic silk made in Europe is guaranteed free of those practices.

What grade is Moonchild® silk?

Moonchild uses the most exquisite 6A grade organic silk on the market, organically produced and ethically sourced, then woven in Italy under fair labour conditions at the same mills that produce for some of the world's leading high-fashion houses.

Satin vs silk - what's the difference?

Sateen or satin is a weave pattern that creates a silky-smooth feel, and adds a lustrous sheen. However, it can be made of any fabric, such as cotton or polyester. Only genuine silk is naturally antimicrobial, anti-fungal and keeps hair and skin hydrated. A satin silk pillowcase provides a wealth of beauty benefits for our hair, skin, sleep quality and overall well-being.

Read on: how to spot the difference between satin and silk.

How is Moonchild® silk dyed?

Moonchild silk is hand dyed in Como in Italy, using a third party certified sustainable and non-toxic process. This ensures that our textiles are safe. Conventional textile dyes and solvents, such as formaldehyde or chlorine bleach, have been shown to be highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Organic dye only accounts for 5-10% of global textile dying.

Check our botanical dye collection with 100% plant dye.

What is the closure of the pillowcases?

We intentionally designed our pillowcases with a long-lasting and elegant envelope closure. We created Moonchild to offer a high-quality option in a market that lacked it. Buttons and zippers create too much mechanical stress on the delicate silk fibers, which would not guarantee the durability we aim for.

Sustainability

What makes Moonchild® silk organic, fair and sustainable?

Moonchild silk is certified organic - that means no pesticides, GMOs and chemical fertilisers are used on the Mulberry plantations where the silkworms are raised. We do not use toxic chemicals in the degumming or weaving process and the silkworms are not harmed. This makes our silk ethical, fair, sustainable and organic. Read on about our special Peace Silk.

Our entire production is waste-free and plastic-free. We ship climate neutral with DHL GoGreen. Re-use your shipping box and the packaging. Our beautiful and durable gift boxes are designed to be re-used and upcycled for love letters, stationery and more.

Why are Moonchild® products more expensive than similar products?

Our entire design and production process is guided by the ethos of slow fashion: We invest thought and time to create a truly high-end and sustainable capsule collection. Our approach seeks to challenge the status quo in the textiles industry and to lead by example:

  • we only use 100% sustainable fibers that are made in Europe
  • our mills and seamstresses are based in Europe
  • dedicated pattern making
  • multiple sampling rounds and fittings to perfect the design
  • zero fabric wastage
  • development of signature colors
  • our silk is woven and dyed to order in Italy
  • all our products are manufactured specifically for us in Europe - no dropshipping here!

By cutting out typical middleman markups and working directly with artisan producers, we can make premium quality accessible. We work with the same textiles mills that produce for esteemed luxury brands. Read on about Moonchild. To us, luxury is found in the details: premium organic silk and advanced tailoring that will bring you joy for many years to come. We only use French seams – say goodbye to torn out seams and zippers. It’s an investment buy and we made sure the ROI is outstanding.

Where and how do you produce?

All our products are manufactured in Europe in EU Member States. The silk is woven and dyed in Como in Italy. We work with textile manufacturers in Germany, Poland, and Portugal. We work with the same producers as some of the leading fashion houses, who can be relied upon to provide the best quality craftsmanship. Our sustainable packaging is handmade in a family-owned manufacturer in Germany.

How do you support your workers?

Our suppliers and us ensure fair and safe working conditions along the entire supply chain, from the Mulberry plantation to all fabric processing steps. Our products are guaranteed free from child labour and forced labor. All our partners ensure safe working conditions and fair living wages (above the minimum wage).

We work in close collaboration with everyone involved at every stage of our supply chain and carry out regular quality, safety and environmental audits to ensure that our high standards continue to be upheld.

Where do you source your fabrics? Which certifications do they have?

Our search to craft the finest quality Peace Silk took many years. Our silk is sourced from Mulberry plantations in India. The silk moths are not harmed during the silk harvesting process. Read on to find out more about our ethical approach.

The raw silk is then processed in our fabric mills in Italy. We do not buy stock, our silk is exclusively woven for us on demand. Our supply chain is located almost exclusively in the EU and at every stage complies with the strict requirements for standards and transparency that apply here. All our fabrics fulfill the highest organic standards and certifications, verified by independent third party organisations. Read on to find out more about certifications.

Silk Care

How to wash silk?

It’s actually really easy to take care of silk! There are just a few key points to keep in mind. Silk can be washed by hand or machine washed on the delicate or hand wash cycle with a special silk detergent.

Please choose a gentle spin cycle to keep your silk in pristine condition. There is no need to dry clean silk pillowcases. To preserve the vibrancy of the colors, wash light and dark colours separately. Read on to find out just how easy silk care is.

Can I wash my Moonchild® silk items in the washing machine?

Machine wash cold (delicate or hand wash cycle, gentle spin) is safe for silk. Ideally, place your pillowcase inside a laundry bag. Use only a specially formulated silk detergent.

Can I use a dryer for silk?

As silk is sensitive to heat, we do not recommend tumble drying, as this may cause damage or shrinkage. Silk dries quickly. Lay wet silk clothing flat onto a clean, absorbent towel and roll it up in the towel to absorb excess moisture. Unroll and repeat using a second dry towel, then lay flat on a drying rack or dry towel.

How often should I wash my silk pillowcase?

Silk is naturally stain and dust repellent. For normal use, we recommend washing once weekly or fortnightly, depending on preference. Read on to find out why your average pillowcase might be the dirtiest item in your bedroom and how organic silk helps to prevent acne and inflammation.

Can I use soap or shampoo to wash my silk pillowcase?

If you love your Moonchild pieces and want to be able to enjoy them for many years, please don’t use shampoo or soap to wash silk. Even detergents for delicates might not be ideal, as wool and silk each have very different needs. The better you care for your silk, the longer it will return the favor with long-lasting shine and smoothness. We recommend a special silk detergent for extra brilliance.

The glass stopper lid of my silk detergent is stuck - how can I open it?

Don’t worry - applying gentle heat will cause the glass to expand and release the pressure, loosening the lid. Hold the bottle under the tap and allow warm water to run over the bottleneck for a few seconds. Alternatively, use a hairdryer on a gentle heat. Wait a second or two, then carefully twist the stopper out. The apothecary-style glass bottle is designed to be reused and repurposed after it is empty – it makes a great vase!
