Spider silk is not only one of the toughest materials on earth… it’s also gorgeous for making clothing.
Especially if the silk is from the Golden Orb spider.
A golden silk cape was spun by over one million Madagascan Golden Orb spiders.
Its golden color is a byproduct of the Golden Orb spider’s naturally golden web.
The garment will go on display at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum.
