Caring for Silk

Washing

Hand wash only, in cool water with a gentle detergent. Never machine wash agitation damages the fibre and dulls the sheen. Never wring or twist the fabric; press the water out gently instead.

Drying

Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight, which fades colour over time. Never tumble dry.

Pressing

Steam to release creases and restore the fabric’s natural fall. If ironing, use a light, low-heat setting ideally through a cloth, and on the reverse of the fabric.

Storing

Store hanging or gently folded, with room to breathe. Avoid plastic garment bags, which trap moisture.

Marks & Stains

Treat marks quickly and gently blot, never rub. For anything stubborn, a specialist dry cleaner is safer than a home remedy.
