Who founded Wink Silk?

Wink Silk was founded by Erin Wise, who serves as Founder and Creative Director, alongside her husband Cooper Wise, Chief Momentum Officer. Erin developed the brand while undergoing treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and managing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), after being unable to find a silk pillowcase with verifiable, non-toxic material sourcing.

Why did Erin Wise start a silk brand while sick?

Erin's CLL treatment and MCAS made her acutely sensitive to synthetic fabrics, dyes, and chemical finishes. Unable to find a silk pillowcase brand that could verify its full chain of custody, she began developing Wink Silk's specification and sourcing herself, working with GOTS- and OEKO-TEX-certified manufacturing partners.

What certifications does Wink Silk hold?

Wink Silk products are GOTS certified (Certificate No. GOTS-16032) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, verifying an audited chain of custody free of prohibited pesticides and harmful chemical finishes. Full certificate details are available on the certifications page.

What is the Wink Silk founding collection?

The founding collection is the Douceur Doublure pillowcase in the Coy colorway (Pantone 7499C), 330 hand-numbered pieces. Wink Prive members receive early access on September 16, 2026, with public availability opening September 17, 2026.

What does "Stronger by Design" mean at Wink Silk?

Stronger by Design is Cooper Wise's personal philosophy of momentary living, or Momentarianism, the belief that character and resilience are built by the moments that nearly break us. It informs the honesty-first approach behind Wink Silk's specifications and storytelling.
