Back in 1981, the original founder of WinterSilks grew tired of having to thaw out after trekking home on late December evenings in sub-zero weather. Upon trying a pair of silk long johns, he was surprised to find they not only kept him wonderfully warm and pleasantly dry during his walk home, but were also incredibly comfortable at the office under his work clothes.
From that day forward, WinterSilks set about to bring luxurious warmth to the world.
The original concept has since expanded from silk long johns to include lingerie, men's and women's travel wear, outerwear and accessories. And the WinterSilks business — which carved out a strong niche in the mail order catalog marketplace — has expanded to the Internet. With a keen knowledge of silk, vast experience importing from the Far East, and a large following of customers who appreciate beautifully crafted silk garments, WinterSilks has evolved into the largest and most successful importer/marketer of filament silk in the United States.
