" Growing mulberry and raising silkworms, apart from supplementing income of farmers, are also the Thai nation’s ancient and beautiful cultural heritage, which has been passed down from long time. In whatever way the country’s economic may change, the development of raising silkworms must continue. "
Royal address
of
Her Majesty the Queen
on the 19th of Jan. 1999
|
Her Majesty graciously granted permission for the ‘peacock’ to be used as the brand or logo of quality assurance for four types of Thai silk. The logo, designed for domestic and international recognition, is also meant to commercially address the issue of Thai silk standards as opposed to fake ‘Thai silk’, and to create a sense of trust in consumers. To be accorded the logo, Thai silk is judged on the attributes of the raw materials and the production process.
