Mantua Silkwear’s new ‘Nocturne’ collection features silk sleep masks engineered for deeper rest, pillowcases that prevent hair breakage and sleep lines, pyjamas elegant enough for daywear, and jewel-toned velvet robes (deep red, midnight blue, royal purple) with silk piping details. Each item in the collection features hand-painted prints with watercolour gradients inspired by twilight transitions.

“In creating ‘Nocturne,’ we’ve considered both the physiological and psychological dimensions of rest,” explains founder Juandi Andrag (who we’ve interviewed previously). “Each piece offers physical comfort while signalling that rest deserves reverence  – it’s a practice worthy of intention.”

Mantua Silkwear has evolved into a slow wellness and lifestyle brand rather than a fashion brand in the competitive fast lane. The brand focuses on local artisanal production with a core focus on the wellness of our manufacturing community, as well as the healing properties of silk used in our products.

The collection showcases Mantua’s core philosophy: silk as a wellness ally, not just a luxury fabric. The collection ranges from R540-R4 300 and is available via mantua.co.za.
