Redefining sleep and self-care with Silk Works London

Redefining sleep and self-care with Silk Works London

When it comes to beauty and wellness, silk has long been celebrated as the ultimate symbol of luxury. But beyond its sumptuous feel, silk offers a wealth of benefits for your skin, hair, and overall wellbeing.

Founded by sisters Laura and Lydia, London-based brand Silk Works was born from a shared passion for beautiful hair, radiant skin, and the power of a simple, timeless secret passed down through generations. Growing up in a Persian household where thick, curly hair was both a blessing and a challenge, the sisters fondly recall their grandmother’s beauty ritual – sleeping on a silk pillowcase. She swore by it as her secret to youthful skin and frizz-free locks, and her wisdom became the inspiration behind their brand.

Combining heritage with innovation, the duo set out to craft a collection of refined silk essentials designed to transform life’s everyday rituals into moments of indulgence. We’ve rounded up the top picks from their newest collection, guaranteed to take your self-care routine to new heights.

Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, from £68

Expertly crafted from the highest grade 6A, 22 momme mulberry silk, Silk Works’ pillowcases are truly redefining the meaning of beauty sleep. Their incredibly smooth surface helps prevent sleep creases while reducing friction that can accelerate fine lines and wrinkles. For hair, the benefits are just as transformative – helping to minimise breakage, tame frizz and keep styles intact overnight.

Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t absorb moisture, allowing your skin and hair retain their natural hydration overnight. Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, silk supports a more restful night’s sleep – making it as practical as it is luxurious. Available in two sizes and a palette of classic shades, the Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is not only an essential beauty tool but also a timeless addition to any bedroom.

Celeste Silk Pyjama Set, £350

There’s no greater expression of comfort and sophistication than slipping into pure silk. The long-sleeved silk pyjamas are crafted from the softest mulberry silk, offering a beautifully smooth, breathable feel against the skin. Every detail speaks of quiet luxury — from the relaxed yet flattering cut to the subtle piping and practical pockets (a true bonus).

This season, the collection introduces stunning jewel tones including rich mulberry and emerald green, alongside timeless neutrals such as glossy black and classic cream. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or enjoying a slow morning at home, these pyjamas are the ultimate indulgence in comfort and style. The perfect gift for a loved one if you’re on the lookout for something truly special.

Large Silk Scrunchies, £32

SilkWorks large scrunchies

The set of three Large Silk Scrunchies offer the perfect marriage of style and function. Made with the same high-quality mulberry silk, these scrunchies glide effortlessly over the hair, preventing the pulling, creasing, and breakage often caused by traditional elastics. 

Available in a range of stylish colours as well as a skinny version, they’re the perfect upgrade to your haircare routine. Suitable for everything from a sleek ponytail to a relaxed bun, they secure styles without causing stress to delicate strands. For anyone who has struggled with brittle ends or thinning hair, switching to silk scrunchies can be a small but meaningful change with visible results.

Cloud Contouring Sleep Mask, £54

One of the newest additions to the Silk Works London collection, their Cloud Contouring Sleep Mask has been meticulously designed for those who take their beauty sleep seriously. Crafted from 22 momme, grade 6A mulberry silk and finished with cloud-like polyester padding, the mask offers an ultra-luxurious touch that cushions the skin while effortlessly blocking out light for deep, uninterrupted rest. Its contoured, lash-safe design ensures comfort without pressure, making it as gentle as it is effective. Presented in a signature gift box, the Cloud Contouring Sleep Mask makes a thoughtful present for any occasion or an indulgence to elevate your own nightly ritual.
