Women's Briefs in Biodynamic Organic Silk Jersey

by Alkena Silk

from 5 Reviews

In biodynamic mulberry silk, these beautiful briefs are very fine, very gentle, therapeutic layer next to the skin. The softest and kindest to the skin, allowing it to breathe while providing gentle thermal warmth.

ethically made in Europe from 100% organic mulberry silk
chemical-free
soft on the most sensitive skin

This Jersey silk garment is made from the most luxurious silk fabric. It is thicker than the silk used in the other Alkena items, yet still maintains its lightness and smooth silkiness.

All silk is excellent for the skin - it's gentle, insulating and breathable, and known for generations and across cultures as the ideal next-to-the-skin layer. Filament silk is the smoothest silk and so is best for sensitive skin. It's so smooth, it gleams...

Silk naturally refreshes itself when aired as it releases dirt and odours easily.
Hang to air then wear again.
Only wash when really necessary.

When you need to wash your garment, either hand wash or machine wash as explained below:

either hand wash: at no higher than 30C (feels lukewarm to the touch)
or machine wash: on a gentle cycle at no higher than 30C with a detergent designed for silk

In both cases:

use a detergent designed for silk
do NOT tumble-dry
wrap your silk garment in a towel and gently squeeze out excess water
hang to dry out of direct sunlight
gently reshape whilst damp

About silk-friendly detergents: we recommend using a PH-neutral detergent designed to protect silk's natural oils. Just like the liquid shampoos in our fabric care section.

Alkena is a Swiss company who have set up a biodynamic regeneration project, near ChengDu in China. Doing so, they brought traditional silk-making skills back to the region. We were very excited to discover this positive work and the very high quality silk clothing coming from it. The silk is organic silk certified by IMO.

Silk is excellent for the skin - it's gentle, insulating and breathable and has been used for generations and across cultures as the ideal next-to-the-skin layer and Alkena's organic mulberry silk is simply the best.
Moreover, the poppers used by Alkena are nickel-free!

Love these

I wash everything in cold, ecozero silk & wool, so never a problem."

Fantastic comfort

"These are perfect! I'm a 14 but I hate tight underwear so the XL is just right. Silk washes well, has no bulk and fits like a second skin. I can't wait to buy more.
I tried another brand but these are much nicer quality (especially the soft elastic) and the fit is much better."

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.

"I have several of these silk briefs and I already wear them for many years. Surprisingly they turned out to be the most durable briefs I ever had. I thought they will be fragile when I first bought them but nope! totally worth the extra money"

This was washed... wash by hand

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.
