Please use the following guidelines to care for your silk scarf.

General Precautions

• Our silk scarves can be washed by hand, but dry cleaning extends their life and protects their natural beauty.

• Any liquid, including water, can stain silk fabric. Always wash it immediately before it sets. 

• Do not put your silk scarf in a washing machine as it could damage the fibers, and ruin the colours.

• Silk is a natural fiber. Do not use bleach to clean it since it will cause damage.

• Substances containing alcohol will damage the silk fabric. Do not spray perfume and hairspray on your silk scarf.

Hand Washing Silk

• Wash each scarf individually with cold water.

• Use a mild detergent, non-alkaline soap, or baby shampoo. Do not use harsh detergents that contain bleaches or brighteners or regular stain removers.

• Do not soak silk for more than 5 minutes.

• Do not rub, wring or twist silk; roll in a towel to extract water.

Drying Tips

• Hang your silk scarf to dry. It will hold its shape.

• Do not use direct sunlight to dry. It can damage the silk fibers and fade the colours.

• Do not use a wooden drying rack, as the finish can leave stains on your silk scarf.

• Do not put your silk scarf in a clothes dryer since it will cause damage.  

Removing Wrinkles

• Minor silk wrinkles should disappear by hanging your silk scarf overnight.

• Most wrinkles can be removed by hanging your silk scarf in the bathroom during a shower.

Ironing Silk

• You can iron your silk scarf, while damp, on the lowest heat setting.

• Always put a cloth between the iron and your silk scarf to avoid burn marks and serious damage.

• Do not wet silk while ironing as this may cause water stains.

Storage

• Keep your silk scarf in dry and cool spaces and do not wrap it in plastic.

• Do not put silk in direct sunlight. It can fade the colours.​
