Grade 6A Silk
Definition
The highest classification in the Chinese silk grading system (6A being the top tier). Grade 6A silk is produced from long, unbroken filaments of a single cocoon, tightly twisted, with minimal defects. It achieves the highest lustre, smoothest surface, and longest fibre continuity of any commercially available silk.
Why it matters for dupe shopping
Grade 6A at 22 mm momme is the luxury benchmark for silk garments. LilySilk and Lilysilk both use this grade. Brands that do not disclose both their grade AND momme count are hiding one or both specifications. A silk blouse from a brand disclosing '22 mm Grade 6A' has met both durability and quality thresholds; one disclosing only 'real silk' has met neither.
