Our Story

The Silk Route is where the love of elegance, beauty, nature, travel, history, and culture meets.

It embodies the values and passions of Amīna Bagus-du Toit, who runs the small scarf company that was started in October 2003.

This little scarf company is a labour of love for Amīna and was born out of  her passion for history, her adventurous spirit, and appreciation for beauty.

"I have a healthy preoccupation... aka slight obsession with the history of the ancient Silk Route/Road and silk.
Silk scarves are my side hustle, and history is my passion, so together, they fuel my curiosity and drive me to want to learn and see more. I also love sharing my joys and passions with others, and I want other women to enjoy the beauty of silk too."
