Slip into silk: MM Linen
For centuries silk has been lauded as a luxurious indulgence, soft on the skin, eye-catching, and something special.
New Zealand’s home linen brand, M.M Linen, introduced a ‘Silk’ collection to its range a little over two years ago. The collection includes silk robes and chemises, silk duvet sets, pillowcases, makeup bags, eye masks, and face masks.
Luxurious and smooth, the silk collection is made from premium high density pure 22 momme mulberry silk, except for the duvet set, which utilises 19 momme silk. The momme value (pronounced mo-mae) depicts the weight of the silk fabric; the higher the value, the higher the density of the silk fabric.
Mulberry silk is known to have hypoallergenic properties and has been produced and worn for many centuries, says company founder Kerry Jackson.
“The smoothness and breathability of the fabric makes it ideal for sleepwear and bedding,” she adds.
M.M Linen is known for its signature designer florals in bedding.
Now its beautiful prints, along with complimentary plain colours, are available in luxurious and lustrous silk chemises and robes, beautifully presented in monogramed gift boxes.
The company’s new store opened at the Elmwood village shops, Christchurch, last month. Since opening, a steady stream of linen-loving shoppers have called in. Beautifully decorative, the store is well worth a visit.
