The Silk Comb
Description
A gesture of ritual and beauty.
Hand-carved in black sandalwood and accentuated with a pure silk tassel, The Silk Comb is made to honor the intimacy of ritual and care. Each comb is locally carved by hand, where the natural grain of the sandalwood is preserved, allowing it to carry a smooth surface and scent. The organic finish of this material prevents static and promotes healthy hair growth.
Our custom made tassel is woven from pure, organic, unbleached silk, alive with unique gestures of handcraft. It is created in Kalasin, Thailand, a region known for its communities of women artisans whose practice holds centuries of devotion, patience, precision, and beauty, woven into every thread of silk. Through this collaboration, Borne continues its commitment to supporting ethical craftsmanship, creating beauty that is both meaningful and enduring.
It’s unique box is an ode to the bas reliefs of La Tragédie (1912) by Antoine Bourdelle, which has inspired Borne through its rich history and symbolic meaning. Iphigenias’s cascading hair and expression evoke a beautiful juxtaposition of femininity and transformation.
Each comb may be personalized with engraved initials, of oneself or a loved one.
