There is no need to market natural silk. It is natural because it is produced by the silk worm, and its marketing campaign has been on since the 27th century BC.
To make the long story of silk short, we will skip its ancient part:
when silk was sold for its weight in gold, and a net of roads, called Great Silk Road, stretched from China to the Middle East and Europe; when caravans delivered the Chinese Emperor’s silk to the kings and to the rich of the world.
By now, everybody knows that silk is a luxurious and sensuous fabric, associated with wealth and success. Not everybody knows that silk is good not only for an image but also for heath.
