The Road Less Traveled

Why & How Much Trouble We Went Through

Weaving Tradition, Sustainability, and Artistry into Timeless Fashion

LiiLii Zhao, inspired by her grandmother's silk house in China, founded Bombyx House after 17 years in New York's fashion industry. Noticing fashion's harmful speed, LiiLii aimed to create a brand that honors craftsmanship and sustainability. Named after the silkworm, Bombyx House blends LiiLii's design expertise from working with top brands like Kate Spade and Calvin Klein with her passion for ethical fashion. She travels globally, sourcing unique handmade elements, which she transforms into thoughtful accessories in her Connecticut studio. Bombyx House isn't just about beautiful pieces; it's a movement towards mindful fashion, connecting wearers to artisans' stories and promoting a more sustainable future.

Create handmade Jewelries, using rare finds from local artisans around the world. 

At Bombyx House, our mission is clear: to celebrate the artistry of handmade creations, reconnect people with the human touch, and honor the rich history and heritage behind every piece. We travel the world to source rare finds from artisans and bring these elements and parts to our studio in Westport, Connecticut. Here, each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted with care by our designer.
