Why EcoDoku?

EkoDoku takes its name from all living and non-living elements of our world that form a living texture in harmony with nature. This name reflects the values of sustainability, respect for nature and a holistic perspective that form the basis of our cooperative.

What Makes EkoDoku Special

Peace Silk: We take our inspiration from Peace Silk, which allows the silkworm to complete its life cycle. This ecological and sustainable silk production method is an indicator of our respectful approach to nature.
