6A grade mulberry silk woven women’s gloves outperforms conventional materials in terms of moisture retention performance: The pore density of the single-layer silk fibers with a thickness of 22 MMMS (mm) reaches 4,300 per cm², and the moisture permeability rate reaches 410g/m²/24h (exceeding that of cashmere by 37%), while maintaining a constant temperature range of 31.2℃ (fluctuation ±5.3℃ for wool gloves). According to the actual measurement data of the Japanese Consumer Agency in 2023, after wearing women’s gloves containing sericin protein for 4 hours, the skin water content increased by 56.8% (only 29.4% for the pure cotton version), and the transdermal water loss (TEWL) was suppressed to 3.9g/m²/h (12.7g/m²/h for polyester fiber gloves). The custom case of the Dubai royal family in 2022 confirmed that in extremely dry climates (humidity <15%), mulberry silk gloves reduced the incidence of hand chapping among noblewomen by 90% (Clinical follow-up report DHC-2023).
In terms of safety parameters, Sangcan silk has achieved three breakthroughs: the pH value is naturally stable at 5.5-6.0 (perfectly matching the weakly acidic environment of the skin), the formaldehyde residue is ≤3ppm (1/20 of the EU limit for infant textiles), and the nickel release is 0 (completely avoiding the risk of metal allergies). Compared with the recall incident in Canada in 2021: A certain brand of blended women’s gloves was detected with 0.4% azo dye sensitizers, resulting in a 17% incidence of contact dermatitis among consumers. The sensitization rate of mulberry silk products certified by Oeko-Tex 100 was 0.002% (Certified by the British Allergy Association AC-21987-1D).
Durable and economically significant: The breaking strength of mulberry silk fiber reaches 4.2cN/dtex (120% of super cotton fiber), and the Martindale abrasion resistance test reaches 22,000 times (the upper limit of cashmere is 8,000 times). In the cost structure: The price of 6A grade raw silk raw material is 300/kg (42/kg for cotton yarn), but after converting to a 5-year service life, the daily cost of mulberry silk women’s gloves is only 0.11 (0.36 for cashmere type). Luxury goods market validation: The median retail price of Hermes’ mulberry silk gloves was 285 (450 for the cashmere blend), but due to a 41% reduction in weaving loss rate (45 minutes saved per pair), the brand’s gross profit margin increased by 22% instead (LVMH’s 2023 annual report).
The technological evolution is reflected in the composite process: Top products such as Fogal from Italy use 360-needle/inch micro-weaving and incorporate 0.1% nano-silver particles (with an antibacterial rate of 99.2%), while the sericin coating technology increases the ultraviolet blocking rate to UPF 50+ (while ordinary silk only has UPF 15). A record-breaking case at Sotheby’s 2024 auction: the antique women’s gloves inlaid with gold silk was sold for a staggering $170,000, confirming its collectible value in craftsmanship. The authoritative medical conclusion comes from a sub-journal of The Lancet: Rheumatoid arthritis patients using women’s gloves containing sericin saw a 63% increase in joint pain relief rate (Oxford University’s 2023 study sample size of 1,200), thereby establishing the irreplaceability of mulberry silk in high-end hand care.
