Why Mulberry Silk Makes a Difference
We source only Grade 6A mulberry silk for the Helsa silk top, the highest tier available for garment production. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, resulting in longer, stronger fibers with a uniform texture and natural luster.
22-Momme Weight Explained
Momme (mm) measures silk density—the higher the number, the more durable and opaque the fabric. At 22mm, our silk top strikes the perfect balance between substantial drape and lightweight breathability. Lower momme silks (12-16mm) are too sheer and fragile for daily wear, while anything above 25mm feels stiff and loses the fluid movement silk is known for.
Sizing & Fit Details
The Helsa silk top is cut with a relaxed, forgiving silhouette that skims the body without clinging. We recommend ordering your typical size for a comfortable, true-to-size fit.
The adjustable straps accommodate a range of torso lengths and can be shortened or lengthened by up to two inches using the gold-tone sliders. The bias-cut construction allows the straps to sit smoothly on your shoulders without twisting or digging in throughout the day.
Care Instructions for Long-Lasting Silk
Unlike most silk garments that require dry cleaning, the Helsa silk top is machine washable when cared for properly. Turn the top inside out and place it in a mesh laundry bag, then wash on the delicate cycle with cold water and a pH-neutral detergent formulated for silk or wool.
Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-spin cycles, which can damage the silk fibers and dull the fabric’s natural sheen. After washing, gently press out excess water—never wring or twist the fabric. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight.
