Playsilk Factories

We partner exclusively with factories that do exceptional work and treat their employees with respect.

Suzhou, China

Our silk is Habotai, an ancient product from China. Silk making is an ancient tradition that is indigenous to China, and is still an important and celebrated process in Chinese culture today. Sarah’s Silks are woven, dyed, and sewn in Suzhou, a beautiful city long renowned for its silk culture.

Nanchong, China

One of Nanchong's primary agricultural products is silk worms, which support related manufacturers, including ours! Our silk is produced on family farms, and is an ancient, traditional product of the area. The school children of Nanchong visit our factory by taking train rides through the city and delight in learning about silk.

We have been working with some these factories since the early days of Sarah's Silks. They are medium sized, family-run businesses that have grown with us for over 20 years, in turn helping each other to shape the business we are today.

From the beginning, Sarah Silk's has prioritized a moral responsibility to the earth and its people. It has always been important to us that our manufacturing process be sensitive to the environment, and that the people involved at every step of the process are treated with respect, receive a fair wage, and are not expected to work in uncomfortable or hazardous conditions. We have the pleasure of visiting the facilities where our silks are made, and meeting the skilled people who hand-dye and hem our products in the beautiful villages of Suzhou and Nanchong.

Our factories must meet three benchmarks: fair trade, empowerment, & transparency.

Employees First.

Fair Trade

Our factories value their employees and the environment by issuing fair wages and quality working conditions.

Empowerment

We want employees to feel empowered, so we look for partners who value employee retention, promoting from within, with equal opportunity for all.

Transparency

We audit often and build personal relationships with every vendor to ensure accountability and honest communication.
