MANTILITY constitutes a peculiar Greek and English composition: \u2022 \u201cMantili\u201d Greek word, noun, a scarf \u2022 \u201cMentality\u201d, noun, a\u00a0particular\u00a0attitude\u00a0or way of\u00a0thinking. For us MANTILITY is\u2026 an object-tribute to the routine of elegance consolidating a universe of aesthetic and artistic values. A concept that addresses sophisticated logic, in the habit of using intellect and knowledge. A musical of silk desires that declares the self-sufficiency of happiness.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAQ 2: Where are your scarves made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We make our scarves in Greece by using the finest silk and we are proud to collaborate with one of the most reputable family-run factories in Soufli, Greece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FAQ 3: What do you mean by high quality silk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually we use 6A grade raw silk. When this is not available by the supplier we use 5A grade. The good quality grades commonly used are A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A. The finest quality Silk is the 6A grade that is rare and the most expensive to produce and buy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAQ 4: What do you mean when you say it is a natural product?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silk is a completely natural material, a protein fibre produced by silkworms, with the absence of any chemicals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAQ 5: What do you mean when you say it is biodegradable?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As silk is a natural fibre it will easily biodegrade in the soil when discarded after the end of its useful life and will not pollute the environment like other petroleum-based fabrics such as acrylic or nylon. Moreover, during the production, after the Reeling and before the Weaving process Raw Silk undergoes a biological procedure during which, part of its surrounding sericin (protein) is extracted. Finally, the ink used for digital printing is certified with OEKO-TEX\u00ae.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAQ 6: What do you mean when you say it is renewable?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silk is produced by the silkworm larvae, excreted from its glands in order to build the cocoon. This process can be repeated indefinitely both in commercial silk production and wild silk production. Fossil fuel based fabrics, on the other hand, use a finite resource that cannot be easily replenished.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAQ 7: I am curious about other properties of silk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Silkiness: the parallel layers of protein on the silk\u2019s fiber render it very soft, so that it does not irritate the skin and is very pleasant to touch. – Absorbency: silk remains dry even if it has absorbed 30% of its weight in water, demonstrating high resistance to human perspiration. – Anti-allergic: doctors recommend silken garments to those suffering from dermatological problems and allergies. – \u0399nsulating: an excellent insulating material warm in the winter and cool in the summer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can use a steam iron and your scarf will look like new in less than a minute.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can iron your scarf. Leave the scarf on the ironing board. Get a towel or a pillow case and gently put it over the scarf. Set the iron on \u201cSilk\u201d or on a very low setting (temperature between 100-180\u00b0C or 212-356\u00b0F) and very gently start pressing over the towel or pillow case.<\/p>\n

FAQ 14: I have noticed some anonymous artwork. Whats is the catch here?<\/strong><\/p>\n

MANTILITY strongly believes in the strength and potential of anonymous artists.
