"Man follows the ways of Earth,
Earth follows Heaven,
Heaven follows the Dao,
Dao follows its’ own ways, Ziran."

- Laozi, 5th century BCE

We have been making reversible silk facemasks since 2018. These masks made with 100% xiang yun sha silk. This silk is sustainable, all-natural, and anti-microbial. Our masks are constructed out of scrap fabrics with zero waste. Hand cut and sewn in Los Angeles.

Facemasks help prevent illness and are required by law in many cities.

Thank you. We love you.
