Silk is every fashion enthusiast's favourite breathable fabric. Not only does this luxury textile instantly add an aspirational element to your look, but it also has a few surprising health benefits.
According to Everyday Health, silk pillowcases, bonnets, sheets, underwear, and pyjamas all contribute to better sleep, healthy hair, and irritation-free skin.
So the more silk, the better. Celine Aargaard clearly agrees.

Even the woman who (accidentally) discovered this textile - according to Chinese legend - Empress Hsi Ling Shi, would be very proud of her legacy today if she saw 'Bajan Princess' Rihanna and South African style maven Kefilwe Mabote wearing these threads.
