SilkUpdated 10 months ago
Silk is a noble and delicate material that lasts a very long time when properly cared for.
Washing:
- We suggest handwashing rather than machine washing.
- Washing should be done in cold water, not lukewarm.
- Do not soak your garment for more than a few minutes.
- Be careful not to rub or crease your garment during washing, silk is fragile, it could leave marks.
- We recommend using a delicate liquid detergent, adapted to silk.
Drying:
- We also recommend that you dry your item directly on a hanger in the open air, but away from the sun to avoid any discoloration.
- You can also dry your article in a towel to remove excess water, but do not wrinkle your blouse or dress to avoid damaging the fibers.
- In some cases, we also recommend dry cleaning.
Ironing:
- If you wish to iron your article, we recommend you to do it on the reverse side of the garment, and to use a slightly wet cloth.
- The iron should be on the 'silk' position if there is one, and as low as possible, to avoid damaging the fibers.
- You can also steamer your garment if you have the necessary equipment.
