Location: Calgary, AB, with required travel to Okotoks and Spruce Meadows
Company Description
Brindy Silk is a Canadian luxury silk brand dedicated to offering premium products that support healthier-looking skin and hair. After more than three years of in-depth research comparing Mulberry silk qualities and leading competitors, we developed collections that combine luxury, quality, durability, and innovative beauty benefits.
Our products include silk pillowcases infused with silver ions to support acne-prone skin and hyaluronic acid-infused pillowcases designed to support hydration and anti-aging skincare routines. We also offer luxurious silk scrunchies that glide gently over the hair, helping to reduce friction, pulling, creasing, and breakage.
At Brindy Silk, we believe self-care should help people feel beautiful, confident, and empowered. Our goal is to encourage customers to invest in themselves and approach each day with greater confidence.
