This natural Bourette silk bodysuit is an ideal choice for either summer or winter and is especially wonderful for a newborn baby.  Silk maintains warmth during cooler weather and keeps your baby cool during hot temperatures.  The bodysuit may be worn either on its own or as a soft, warm underarlayer during winter.  Silk is a wonderful fabric to be worn directly next to the skin and your little one will be warm and comfortable any time of year.  Silk is gentle and healthy for sensitive baby skin and stays cool in summer and warm in winter.  The bodysuit features sleeves that are "short" (about 3/4 length) and an envelope neck opening so you can easily dress your baby.

This bodysuit is made from natural Bourette silk, which is quite different from pure filament silk.  Bourette silk has a more uneven, natural, earthy texture, rather than the smooth, 'silky' texture that most people associate with silk.  Bourette silk is known for its natural healing properties, making it an excellent choice for babies.    

Made by Sichuan Alkena, this shirt is 100% natural silk.  The quality of Alkena silk is second to none, and silk is one of the most ideal options for baby clothing.    Silk is wonderful for the skin, particularly for sensitive baby skin.  Silk is soft, gentle, and truly luxurious.  It is ideal for year-round wear, helping to regulate the body’s temperature and keeping your baby cool during summer and warm during winter.  Silk is both insulating and breathable.  Silk also resists dirt and odors quite well, another reason it’s an excellent choice for babies. 

All of Alkena’s processes, including knitting, weaving, dyeing, printing and sewing are annually inspected and monitored by IMO as against Global Organic Textile Standard.  Sichuan Alkena focuses on dyestuff quality and is environment-friendly.
