THE FILLING
The luxury is in the layers.
Mulberry silk begins with fine, continuous filaments. Drawn into broad layers, they give our duvet its smooth, close drape.
A cotton shell completes the insert. Slip it into your favorite duvet cover and make silk part of your everyday routine.

What does sleeping under silk feel like?
Smooth, close-draping comfort with a lower-bulk feel. Fine layers of long-filament silk settle around you, rather than creating the lofty puff of down.
If you enjoy a duvet that follows your body’s shape, silk is well worth discovering.
What is it made from?
Long-filament mulberry silk filling, drawn into broad layers, inside a cotton outer shell. Choose 150, 250 or 400 g/m² of silk filling; the displayed filling weight excludes the shell.
Use with your own removable duvet cover. Follow the insert’s care label for cleaning.
What’s included, and how do I choose a size?
One silk-filled duvet insert. Cover, sheets and pillowcases are separate. Match the insert’s measurements to your duvet cover.
Can I return it?
Genuinely custom dimensions are excluded from change-of-mind returns where the law allows. Standard-size orders retain applicable cancellation rights. Your rights for faulty, damaged or incorrectly described items always remain.
How easy is it to care for?
Keep everyday care simple: use a removable duvet cover, wash the cover regularly and give the insert an occasional airing.
Air for a few hours every few weeks in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sun. Let it dry fully before storage.
For spills or deeper cleaning, follow the insert’s care label. Avoid high-heat drying.

A NOTE FROM ZEYANG
A familiar comfort.
Worth sharing.
I grew up in rural south-east China, in a middle-class family. We had cotton duvets and down duvets, but when spring or fall arrived, we would bring out the silk ones.
Every time, getting into bed felt like a small luxury again. The lightness, the way the duvet settled around me, the comfort without all that bulk—it was something I always looked forward to.
Silk was part of childhood, too. I kept silkworms as pets, gathered mulberry leaves to feed them, and watched them slowly spin themselves into cocoons. Long before I thought about materials or bedding, silk already meant something familiar and close to home.
That is why I wanted to bring silk duvets to Lave. What can feel like an unfamiliar luxury elsewhere was an ordinary, treasured part of life in our home. I want to share that familiar comfort: a small luxury to look forward to every night.
We spend so much time measuring our sleep now—tracking it with watches, rings and apps. I think there is also something worth rediscovering in the simple comfort of what we sleep under.
For me, silk is a small pleasure I have known for years. I would love more people to experience it.
