All employees that produce products for Africa Silks has free reign to embrace their creative side and design what they see as beautiful. We feel that the beauty of hand-crafted products is lost when being governed by rules.

We specialize in the art of weaving and spinning in the old-fashioned style.All our woven products are produced from spun silk made from the cocoon into a final product. We carry pride in our products, not only because they are hand-made and unique but because we farm ethically and allow the worm to continue on its natural course of life before using the silk.
