OUR STORY
Our Story
The Silky Thread is an Australian label, launched in 2022 to offer timeless, thoughtful fashion for women from all walks of life.
Rooted in a love for craftsmanship and a sense of nostalgia, our name was inspired by the Silk Road — a historic network of trade routes that connected East and West. Our homeland, Afghanistan, sat at the heart of these routes, serving as a crossroads of culture and exchange. Reflecting that spirit of connection, our garments are ethically handcrafted in Afghanistan.
Each piece is delicately tailored and embellished by hand, celebrating the beauty of detail, tradition, and craftsmanship.
We hope our designs become a meaningful part of your story, through everyday moments and lasting memories, wherever you are in the world.
Our Designs
Our designs are original, sparked by the world around us.
With your comfort at heart, we handpick every fabric from corners near and far — always choosing quality that feels as good as it looks.
Each piece is thoughtfully handmade and hand-embellished by our talented artisans in Afghanistan.
And because details matter, every design is carefully refined until it’s just right — crafted to meet the highest standards for you.
Our Approach
At The Silky Thread, we are dedicated to creating carefully crafted pieces that our customers will cherish for years to come.
Grounded in the principles of slow and sustainable fashion, we strive to honour both the planet we call home and the people who bring our designs to life.
