The Silk Bonnet

An object passed down through more grandmothers than the marketing of silk usually admits. The bonnet is two layers of pure mulberry silk — light enough to forget on the head, dense enough that a curl pattern survives the night and a fresh blowout survives a week. Wash day finishes; the leave-in is doing its slow work; you tie the elastic at the nape, the way you were taught, and the day's last task is done. Inside, the silk creates no friction at the cuticle — no halo of frizz in the morning, no broken edges along the hairline, no faint white residue of cotton fibre that other cloths shed in sleep. It is the only piece in the collection your hair will recognise as its native climate.

Fabric: 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk — double-layer construction, inside and out.

Details

• Two layers of silk throughout — no cotton lining, no jersey edge
• Adjustable elastic band, generously sized for braids, locs, curls and rollers
• Preserves blowouts, set styles and natural curl patterns overnight
• Reduces breakage at the hairline and shine-loss along the shaft

Care

Hand wash cold with a pH-neutral silk detergent. Air-dry flat in shade. The elastic is the only mortal part — handle it as you would a fine ribbon, and it will last seasons.

Companion piece to the scrunchie and the pillowcase — the maison's nighttime hair trio.

• Reduces friction on skin and hair by up to 43% versus cotton — fewer lines on waking, less breakage at the roots.
• Holds your body's temperature without trapping heat — for sleep that does not break at 3am.
• Will not wick away your night serums or eye cream. Your routine stays where you put it.

Mulberry silk shares eighteen amino acids with human skin. Hypoallergenic by nature, it resists dust mites and bacteria — and it drapes beautifully without ever feeling heavy.
