Our origins
The Cévennes, historic cradle of French silk
In the Cévennes, where silk production reached its peak until the 19th century, Sericyne has been working for 4 years for the revival of natural French silk, in an area dedicated to organic farming. This renaissance begins with the planting of new mulberries, the only food for insects

Two complementary places
Sericyne’s activity is spread over two sites. In Occitanie, in the village of Monoblet, in the heart of the Cévennes regional park, Sericyne has mulberry fields, a silkworm farm (building for breeding silkworms) and a silk production workshop. In Paris, Sericyne is based at Station F, the largest business incubator in Europe. Parisian activity is linked to commerce and communication.
Our values & commitments

The renaissance of the silk sector to which we contribute daily is our pride. It guarantees an additional income for those who develop sericulture. Preservation and enhancement of a local ecosystem by planting mulberry: Sericyne participates in the development of biodiversity, all crops are organic and eco-responsible.
Made In France: Sericyne works mainly with French partners in all the transformations of the material.
