The silky bookworm

The silky bookworm is a bookmark, handcrafted with an old silk tie. It comes wrapped up in an envelope imprinted with the story of silk.

It is about the silk moth that lays an egg on a mulberry leaf and about the silkworm who spins a beautiful thread to make its cocoon. The silk is reeled off and used to make a precious silk tie. Old, torn or just out of fashion, the tie is transformed into a worm once more. As a silky bookworm, it likes the paper leaves of your favourite books. And flying along, there is a colourful Buttertie.
