Ziran Silk
Ziran uses a proprietary sustainable silk called xiang yun sha (pronounced SHUNG YOON SHAH). This silk has been made for the past 500 years in one small village in China. The process is completely sustainable, from beginning to end. Ziran is the first company outside of Asia using this silk.

Ziran redefines what “Made in China” means by honoring an ancient silk tradition that weaves heaven and earth into modern forms.
Our heirloom silk, Xiang Yun Sha, tells stories passed down through generations.
The Way Back
The Way Back is about the journey, often meandering, that takes us back. To the Dao, to Home, to Self, and to Details. We took a six month hiatus from offering anything new… to find our Way Back.
