Frequently Asked Questions
Many believe satin and silk are the same because both feel smooth. However, silk is made from natural protein fibres, which help retain the hair's moisture while also being breathable. Satin is often made from polyester, which is not breathable in the same way and can cause more friction, static electricity, and a damp scalp.

Angora wool is an exclusive natural fibre that comes from angora rabbits. The fibres are known for their extraordinary softness, lightness, and insulating properties. Angora wool is significantly warmer than ordinary wool, while also feeling light and comfortable against the skin.
Angora wool has a natural ability to regulate temperature. It effectively retains warmth in cold weather, yet feels breathable and comfortable at the same time. The fibres are very fine and soft, which makes angora wool ideal for products worn close to the skin, without itching or causing irritation.
At Cillouettes, we use only suppliers who work with ethical and responsible harvesting of angora wool. This means that the wool is collected gently, without force or pain to the animals, and in accordance with applicable animal welfare standards. The well-being of the animals is a prerequisite for quality – and for our values.
The angora wool in our products comes from suppliers who practice gentle collection through brushing or shearing of angora rabbits, often in connection with natural shedding. The suppliers follow current guidelines for animal welfare and responsible handling of the animals.
