Japanese polyester or artificial silk is an 'ethical' alternative to real silk. Polyester is a fabirc made through a chemical reaction involving coal, petroleum, air and water. A good method of determining real silk from faux silk is to burn the material. Real silk stops burning as soon as it is removed from the flame unlike synthetic fibers, which will catch fire.
