Why Your "Silk" Might Be Killing Worms — And What Roses Have to Do With It
Let’s be real: we’ve all been seduced by the feel of silk. It’s soft, it’s luxurious, it screams expensive. But here’s the not-so-glamorous tea—your silky scarf might’ve come at the cost of boiling silkworms alive.
Yep. That floaty, glossy top you love? Tiny insects died for it. And let’s not even start on the pesticides, bleaching, and high-water usage behind traditional silk production.
So... what’s a fashion lover with a conscience supposed to wear?
You want to slay in trending fashion, wrap yourself in dreamy trending scarves, and still sleep at night knowing you didn’t destroy a planet or a worm’s life in the process.
We got you.

The Steps That Make It Possible
- Collection of Rose Petals
-
Waste rose petals (usually from floriculture, perfumery, or temple offerings) are collected.
-
These petals are often considered waste, making the fiber sustainable from the start.
2. Cleaning and Sorting
-
The collected petals are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, pesticides, and other contaminants.
-
Sorting ensures only usable, high-quality petals go into production.
3. Extraction of Cellulose
-
The cleaned petals are processed to extract cellulose—a key component used to make the fiber.
-
This usually involves a chemical-free or low-impact enzymatic process to break down the petals into pulp, minimizing environmental harm.
4. Fiber Regeneration
-
The extracted cellulose pulp is then processed in a closed-loop system, similar to how viscose or lyocell is made.
-
This regenerates the cellulose into long, continuous fibers.
5. Spinning into Yarn
-
The rose petal fibers are spun into yarn using ring-spinning or other sustainable spinning techniques.
-
Sometimes, it's blended with other eco-friendly fibers like organic cotton, modal, or bamboo for added durability or texture.
6. Dyeing (Optional)
-
If required, the yarn can be dyed using low-impact, plant-based, or natural dyes.
-
Many eco-conscious brands skip synthetic dyes to maintain full biodegradability.
7. Weaving or Knitting into Fabric
-
The yarn is woven or knitted into fabric, depending on the end-use (e.g., flowing dresses, scarves, shirts).
-
The resulting fabric is soft, breathable, and has a silk-like sheen and texture.
But how does it feel?
Think natural silk, but without the shady backstory.
Soft? Check.
Durable? Yup.
Why this matters
Let’s be honest. Fashion has a dark side. Fast fashion is trashing the planet. Traditional textiles are loaded with toxins, and "natural" doesn’t always mean kind. But rose petal fabric? It’s a reminder that we can look good and do good.
At House of Parvi, we’re rewriting the rules. We believe sustainable fashion should still be stunning. That’s why our latest collections (including our trending scarves) are crafted with rose fabric—because ethical is the new elegant.
