Our Organic Silk Kimono is crafted from Eri silk, a strong, dense, and highly durable wild silk. This natural fibre is biodegradable and has a low environmental impact. Eri silk is 100% hypoallergenic and has thermal properties that keep you cool in summer and warm in winter—perfect for all seasons.
Our artisan at Aeshaane practice “slow silk” farming, where the silk is carefully harvested from empty cocoons only after the moths have fully transformed and flown away. This makes Eri silk both ethical and cruelty-free, often called “peace” or “vegan” silk.
Each kimono is a handmade, artisanal creation. Our local artisans use eco-friendly, sustainable methods for spinning and weaving. Each piece takes at least a week to make, not including the time for harvesting and hand-printing.
Product Care– With a little love and care, your organic silk kimono will last you for years. We celebrate re-use, swapping and encourage you to repair whenever possible.
Dry cleaning is the safest option
Gentle steam iron on the reverse side or with a cloth over it
Do not wrap in plastic, as silk needs to breathe
Each purchase comes in a recycled bag for storage.

Urban Medley supports traditional weaving and printing forms. Their designers help the artisans to balance tradition with contemporary designs, and help them to commercialize using their age- old methods and production processes. The beautiful scarves and accessories from Urban Medley are made by small communities of weavers and printers from India. The weavers mainly work from home, whereby they determine their own working hours. The printers work in a small workshop with pleasant working conditions. Urban Medley uses organic, black cotton, 'peace' silk and organic leather for their products. The brand does not want to be bound by age, gender, race, color or even size, therefore accessories have been chosen as the main focus point. The accessories help you shape your own style. The ‘take care’ bags too are environmentally friendly: fabric bags made by women working from home in a village of Tamilnadu. These women can therefore support their family without having to step out. The brand helps you to be a proud and conscious fashionista.
