Crafted with Purpose, Designed with Care — Honoring the Earth Through Every Step
Our Commitment to Sustainability at Silk & Willow
At Silk & Willow, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Like students of the earth, we continuously seek to learn, grow, and refine our efforts to honor the planet we all call home. Every decision—whether as simple as choosing 100% post-consumer recycled materials or as complex as investing in ethically produced silk—is made with care, intention, and impact in mind.
Our materials are as thoughtful as our processes. From eco-friendly packaging and handmade papers crafted from reclaimed T-shirt remnants, to cotton textiles handwoven using traditional methods and ethically produced silk that meets rigorous environmental standards, we focus on minimizing waste and maximizing beauty. Each element we create tells a story of intention and care.
Our textiles tell a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and responsibility. Organic silks and cotton are handwoven using centuries-old techniques, crafted from hand-spun, raw, and natural fibers. Many of our silk fabrics and silk accessories are certified by Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, an assurance of their purity from harmful chemicals and oversight of ethical working conditions. Each thread ties together a dedication to environmental stewardship and fairness for all hands involved.
Natural color is our mantra
Color is where nature truly shines in our work. Our designer hues are crafted from the gardens and forests around us—roots, nuts, flowers, and foliage. We organically grow and forage much of our dye material around our home in the Hudson Valley, and for materials sourced beyond, we adhere to the highest standards of sustainability, including GOTS Certification. Every shade carries the essence of nature, preserving its integrity in every piece we create.
People & Planet
Sustainability is not a solitary endeavor. Collaboration is fundamental to our process. We cherish deep partnerships with artisans across the globe, supporting their communities and ensuring our shared work reflects the values we hold dear. Together, we honor time-honored techniques to create items that tread lightly on our planet while nurturing the hands and hearts that craft them.
At Silk & Willow, we believe even the smallest details matter. Our mission evolves alongside the world, and your participation is part of this story. Whether through your ideas or choosing our products, you are playing a vital role in fostering a more thoughtful, beautiful, and sustainable future.
