Business Description

Until recently, the moth Gonometa Postiga was seen as a threat to livestock and game farming on the fringes of the Kalahari in the fringes of the Kalahari in the Omaheke and Hardap regions. The moth hatches from cocoons which are spun by larvae on Camel thorn and blackthorn acasia trees upon which the larvae feeds before pupating. The animals fees on the dry cocoons, which annot be digested, resulting in severe rumen impaction and sometimes even results in death. Today, the collection of wild silk and processing it into various silk yarn and silk products provides employment and income to the members of the community, mostly women in Leonardville, Namibia. Production of unique naturally woven products is tking place at the project factory in Leonardville. The products include a wide range of scarves, shawls, neck ties, bed covers, cushion covers and many more....

Business Overview

Avg Response Time

≤ 1h

Most silk fiber suppliers come from countries like China, India, or Turkey, where large-scale production and long-term trade relationships are common. Kalahari Wild Silk Manufacturers, based in Namibia, stands out as a rare supplier from a non-traditional silk-producing region. Their focus on silk fiber suggests niche or premium market positioning, possibly targeting buyers seeking unique, ethically sourced materials. The lack of verified phone, work email, or business documents raises concerns about legitimacy and responsiveness — a key risk for buyers considering large or long-term orders. Without documentation verification, it's hard to confirm the company's real operations or track record. Being established since 2010 shows some stability, but the absence of digital verification signals a need for extra due diligence before engaging. Buyers should request additional proof, such as a company registration or product sample, to reduce risk when sourcing from this supplier.
