Mayfairsilk has released a guide covering the differences between products marketed as “mulberry silk” and products labelled as “100% silk”.
-- Mayfairsilk has released a guide on the differences between “mulberry silk” products and “100% silk” products, two types of products that are common in the industry. As silk is becoming increasingly popular for use in everyday items, consumers are now encountering fabrics that are being marketed with potentially misleading labels, leading to confusion that Mayfairsilk aims to address in its resource.

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global silk market was valued at USD 24.09 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 53.19 billion by 2034. Analysts attribute this rapid growth to a rising demand for natural, environmentally friendly fibres, which, combined with the fabric’s natural sheen, high tensile strength, and lightweight structure, make silk a desirable material.
There are several types of silk within the industry, all of which vary in quality. Per Mayfairsilk’s guide, mulberry silk is widely perceived as one of the highest-quality options for its uniform threads, resulting in greater lustre and a softer texture. This silk is harvested from the cocoons of Bombyx mori silkworms that are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves; each silkworm produces a single, continuous thread, which lends to the finished fabric’s durability and texture. Products labelled “mulberry silk” are spun exclusively from this type of silk and are often sold at higher price points due to the quality of the fabric and the labour-intensive production process.
Conversely, Mayfairsilk’s guide says that silks labelled “100% silk” are still made from silk fibres, but these may not be sourced from silkworms; tussar and eri silks, which are classified as wild silks, are often combined with mulberry silk in such fabrics. As such, 100% silk products may vary in quality and often don’t have the same texture as pure mulberry silk.
"As silk becomes more widely available across bedding, fashion, and home goods, it's more important than ever for consumers to understand what product labels actually mean. Knowing the difference between mulberry silk and other silk varieties allows shoppers to make more informed purchasing decisions," said Marcus Ubl, co-founder of Mayfairsilk.
Buyers who are looking to use silk as bedding are advised to purchase mulberry silk for its softness and longevity. However, Mayfairsilk notes that those who prioritise cost-effectiveness or are only using silk for furnishings or fashion pieces may prefer 100% silk products instead.
