The term "pure silk" should only be used in referring to a natural
product that comes from silkworms. However, this does not necessarily
mean that some unscrupulous manufacturer or distributor will not label
something as "100% pure silk" when the item is, in fact, made of
synthetic fibers. I once saw a kimono for sale that bore a designer's
tag that said "100% pure silk." The label that was sewn inside said
"100% polyester."
