The Beauty of Upcycled Silk

The Sustainable Fashion Movement is in Full Swing - Here's How You Can Join the Movement with Plume's Upcycled Silk Intimates.

As consumers become increasingly aware of the environmental impact of fast fashion, many are turning to sustainable fashion brands that prioritize eco-friendliness and ethical production practices. Upcycling is the process of transforming discarded materials into new products, and it's becoming an increasingly popular practice in sustainable fashion. Plume's upcycled silk intimates are not only environmentally friendly, but also offer a luxurious and soft feel that is unmatched by other materials.

By using upcycled silk, Plume is able to reduce its environmental impact in a number of ways. Silk production can be resource-intensive and have a high carbon footprint, but upcycling allows the brand to reduce waste and conserve resources.  Additionally, upcycling silk helps reduce the need for new silk production, which can involve the use of harmful chemicals and labor practices.

Where Plume's Upcycled Silk Comes From ?

Our upcycled silk is sourced from the end of the roll, which has been suffered some damage, typically at the extreme edges, and is therefore deemed unsellable by our silk supplier. 

However, we believe this perfectly good silk should not go to waste. Our skilled tailors carefully cut and repurpose it into our beautiful and sustainable Boheme Set made of pure silk.

In addition to its environmental benefits, upcycled silk also offers a number of advantages when it comes to comfort and durability. Silk is naturally soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it an ideal material for intimate apparel. 

Plume's commitment to sustainability doesn't stop with its use of upcycled silk. The brand also prioritizes ethical production practices, ensuring that its garments are made in safe and fair working conditions. Our close relationship with our tailor is built on frequent visits to their workshop and a shared love and respect.

As consumers become more conscious of their impact on the environment, sustainable fashion is becoming a more attractive option. Plume's upcycled silk intimates offer a unique combination of luxury, sustainability, and comfort. By choosing Plume, you can join the sustainable fashion movement and make a positive impact on the planet without sacrificing style or comfort.
