If I were to sell 100% silk products would you buy from me?

Not really an AIBU but it’ll help loads if I get a response for business purposes!

I’ve Developed massive interest in manufacturing (I’m good with a sewing machine) silk products so pillow cases, scrunches, hair bonnets/turbans and eventually bed sheets etc.

However silk is very expensive And people don’t generally like to spend money lol. So would you buy those silk products if you had come across them?

I honestly cant bring myself to care about a lave without a brain

@Elsewyre even though it’s been proven they are sentient and can feel? Wow

@TheHobbitMum

I too wouldn't buy silk for the cruelty involved in making it

I found out about it when I read Silkworm by Robert Galbraith recently. I had no idea & it put me right off.

Commercial cotton production is bad for the environment. Plastic is an environmental disaster. Microplastics from the laundering of artificial fibres are major issue.

I can't get overwrought about silk, when I consider what crop monocultures (including cotton) do to the soil, and all the insects that depend on it, and the birds that depend on them.

Just because something doesn't die directly to feed or clothe you, doesn't mean that nothing dies to provide your clothes or food.

crop monocultures are also involved in silk production as the silk worms/moth larvae feed on a specific plant.

OP seems to be gone. I would, I love any natural fabric and hate poly mixes.
