What on earth is momme?
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.
