Silk for the woman who never slows down.
silk di Laurentia was founded in Amsterdam in 2020, born from one simple frustration: why did beautiful clothes always feel like a compromise? Every piece we make is designed for the woman who does everything and refuses to dress like she's doing less.
A letter from the founder
A challenge: how do you create quality in luxury and keep it simple, in a market that moves fast and overlooks what truly matters?
I was searching for a gift something that felt genuinely thoughtful. But I kept hitting the same wall: beautiful things that fell apart, or durable things that bored me. Nothing existed at both ends. So I started digging, and everything pointed to one answer: material.
Mulberry silk is ancient and extraordinary. It's biodegradable, naturally produced, and built to last. It moves without creasing, adapts to your body's temperature, and feels nothing like synthetic alternatives. Once I understood that, I couldn't ignore what was missing from the market.
In 2020, I started silk di Laurentia in Amsterdam. Not as another fashion brand, but as a different way to think about what we wear. Fewer pieces. Better material. Clothes designed to work across your entire day without compromise.
I'm not a designer by training. I'm someone who noticed a gap and decided to fill it.
silk di Laurentia exists for people who've stopped accepting clothes that don't last, don't travel well, or don't earn their place in your life.
I made this for you.
With love from Amsterdam,
Bennie

Three things we will never compromise on.
01
Fewer, better things.
We don't do seasons. We don't do trends. We make pieces you'll still want in five years — because they're made from a material that was never going to go out of style.
02
Silk as a choice, not luxury.
Mulberry silk is biodegradable, sustainably produced, and more durable than synthetic alternatives. Choosing it is not indulgence — it's the more responsible decision.
03
Your life is not one occasion.
Your wardrobe shouldn't be either. Every silk di Laurentia piece is designed to move between the parts of your day without asking you to change who you are.
"Why only silk? Because we tried everything else, and nothing came close."
Mulberry silk is produced by silkworms raised on mulberry leaves — one of the most natural, low-impact fibres in existence. It's hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and biodegradable. It doesn't shed microplastics into the ocean when you wash it. We made a decision in 2020 and we haven't second-guessed it once: if it isn't silk, it isn't silk di Laurentia.
Now you know where we come from. Come and see where we're going.
Slow fashion. Made in silk, designed in Amsterdam.
