Silk FAQ

What on earth is momme?

by Kerry Belle 20 Sep 2023 0 Comments

As you explore our collection, you may come across the term "momme" in relation to our silk products. Momme (pronounced "mummy") is a unit of measurement used to determine the weight and density of silk fabric. It refers to the weight in pounds of a piece of silk fabric that is 45 inches wide and 100 yards long. The momme weight indicates the quality and durability of the silk, with higher momme weights generally indicating a denser and more luxurious fabric.

At Silk Closet, we offer silk products with momme weights ranging from 16 to 30. This range ensures that our silk items are of exceptional quality, providing you with the utmost comfort and longevity. Let's explore the significance of different momme weights:

1. 16 Momme: Our silk products with a 16 momme weight are lightweight and perfect for warmer climates or those who prefer a delicate and airy feel. They offer a graceful drape and a subtle sheen, making them ideal for everyday wear.  Our sandwash collection of classic slip dresses 16 momme.

2. 19 Momme: With a slightly higher momme weight, our silk items at 19 momme strike a balance between durability and elegance. They have a luxurious feel and a beautiful luster, suitable for both casual and formal occasions.  Our range of classic slip dresses in regular 100% silk are 19 momme.

3. 22 Momme: Our silk products with a 22 momme weight are the epitome of opulence and indulgence. They have a heavier weight, providing a sumptuous feel and a rich, radiant appearance. These items are perfect for special occasions or when you want to treat yourself to the ultimate luxury.  Our pillowcases are 22 momme to allow for a bit more durability.

4.  30 Momme: Some of our apparel come in 30 momme to allow them to be less see through if they are lighter in colour.

When selecting silk products, considering the momme weight is crucial as it directly affects the quality, durability, and overall feel of the fabric.  

At Silk Closet, we are dedicated to offering you the finest silk products, thoughtfully chosen for their exceptional momme weights. We want you to experience the true essence of luxury and elegance with every piece you choose from our collection.
