The unseen eight hours

You spend eleven minutes on your skin.
Then eight hours undoing it.

Cotton pulls at hair and takes the serum you just paid for. Silk at 22 momme does neither.

22M

Every piece stated at 22 momme — the way 925 is stamped on silver

Most silk pillowcases don't work. Here is how you tell.

Momme is the weight of the weave, not a marketing word. Below 19 it thins, snags and drinks. Both pairs below were photographed under the same light, same lens, same hour.

Cotton is a short staple fibre with a raised, irregular surface. Hair catches on it and lifts. A long-filament silk of this weight gives the hair nothing to catch on — the strand slides and stays whole.

02 — Absorption

0.5 ml serum · four minutes

What the weave takes, your face does not keep. The denser filament holds the bead on the surface long enough for skin to do the absorbing instead.

The Grade · Specification

Twenty-two is a decision, not a maximum.

Momme Weave weight g/m² Pillowcase mass
16 MOMME 69 ≈50 g
19 MOMME 82 ≈70 g
22 MOMME 95 ≈100 g
25 MOMME 108 ≈115 g

Under 19 momme the weave thins: it snags at the seam, wears through at the fold, and drinks what you put on your face. It is the weight most silk sold as silk is cut to.

At 25 it stops behaving like bedding — heavier, warmer against the cheek, slower to dry, and priced accordingly. We weigh 22 as the point where durability and hand stop competing.

Six colours. One weight.

Dyed in the same run as the cloth, so mask, case and scrunchie match across the set. Every colourway is stated at 22 momme — nothing is thinned to hit a price.
