From the designer Sarah: My third son, Morgan, was a very active child and loved to play with his two older brothers. Sometimes they would play with pretend swords, sparring and running all around my house. I noticed that their best sword fighting pretend play was with soft, long pillows. This gave me the idea to make a super soft sword covered in silk!
So we designed these Soft Swords, made from soft but stiff foam. These toy swords measure 17 inches in length and are covered with our jacquard pattern silk handle with a golden silk 'blade'. They go well with our Knight Costumes, Crowns, and Capes.
Silk is imbued with folklore and stories, the spirit of silk is rich, made so by those that have been a part of the history. From the Chinese empress Leizu who guarded the secret of the silk worms, to the men, women, and children, that travelled the silk road, one has a sense, of dedication, value, and importance from the fiber. It can be felt that it was this elemental integrity that drew Sarah to it herself.
A fiber that is strong, fine and lustrous, silk will last when taken care of, but as a natural fiber, it will return effortlessly to the earth. It could be said that silk can be both preserved or decomposed for the health of the planet. If one were to know Sarah in person, you would feel the parallel nature between her and the material she has dedicated the most part of her life to. Beyond the virtues of silk, Sarah's penchant for play, make believe and for nurturing creativity has made Sarah’s Silks a meaningful thread in the fabric of many lives.
