UKFT member MayfairSilk is a British brand, designed in London, known for hand-finishing the finest silk pillowcases, silk bed linen, silk home furnishings and silk lifestyle accessories using 100% Mulberry Silk in a specialised weave and contemporary matte finish. Pillowcases are crafted in 25 momme and bed sheets/duvet covers in 22 momme.

MayfairSilk says: “The benefits of silk are far more plentiful than simply feeling dreamily luxurious; it’s also very kind on your skin and hair helping it retain its natural moisture, lustre and beauty. MarfairSilk’s silk is mite-resistant, anti-bacterial, hypoallergenic, thermoregulating, machine washable and certified Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX, the highest global testing standard to be free of all harmful chemicals and dyes. MayfairSilk is recommended by leading Harley Street dermatologists, doctors and skin specialists. Production is sustainable and the products are biodegradable at their end-of-life, which makes your choice in silk good for the customer and the planet.”

About the founders:

Marcus and Darshana Ubl have been building successful businesses together for a decade. For them business is about channelling their creativity to produce things of quality that enhance the experience of living.

Darshana says: “Having slept in silk for years and experiencing first-hand the positive difference it has made to my hair, skin and sleep, I decided one night that I wanted to let the world in on my secret. I shared this with Marcus and from that moment on we started our journey into textiles. Sourcing and developing the finest fabrics and finishing processes, colour palette, hand finished silk designs and a timeless bed linen collection with unexpected details that please the senses.”

 

Marcus says: “I have suffered from allergies from a young age but sleeping on silk really transformed my sleep as its hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and dust mite resistant.”

Why Silk?

MayfairSilk says: “Besides the tactile benefits of sleeping on silk, there are many health and beauty benefits. It’s a little-known fact that cotton can absorb 27 times its weight in water, therefore making it wonderful as a towel but when it comes to your bedding, it is absorbing the moisture out of your skin and hair making it lose lustre and hydration.

“Silk on the other hand, has a similar PH level to your skin and absorbs very little (0.3 times), maintaining your skin and hair health.

“100% pure mulberry silk is naturally thermo regulating. MayfairSilk products are Certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100, meaning it passes the highest standards in textiles to be completely free of all harmful dyes and chemicals. Toxic chemicals, bleaches and formaldehyde that are found in cotton production have no place in our production.”

MayfairSilk offers a range of silk products:

Silk pillowcases in beautiful colours and designs, silk bed linen, silk facemasks, silk sleep mask, silk cushions and lifestyle accessories.
