Mainie’s luxurious silk scarves are handmade from the best silk in the world. We source our premium quality silks from the historic Silk Cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou in China. Suzhou in Jiangsu Province is known as the “Venice of the East”. Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province was referred to as a “City of Heaven” by the thirteenth century Venetian traveller Marco Polo. The world’s first silks originated in China 4,700 years ago. Today, China produces 80 percent of the world’s silk. Silk is not manufactured for commercial purposes in Australia.
