Check the Product Care Label First

Silk products can require different care depending on fabric weight, dye, construction, lining and trims. Always follow the confirmed care label or product-page instructions first. If they differ from this general guide, the product-specific guidance takes priority.

Wash Gently

• Use cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent suitable for silk.
• When hand washing, press gently. Avoid long soaking, vigorous rubbing, twisting or wringing.
• Use a machine delicate cycle only when the care label permits it, and place the item in a laundry bag.
• Separate light and dark colours and check for possible colour release before the first wash.

Dry and Reshape

• Press excess water out gently with a clean towel; do not wring.
• Reshape and air-dry in a shaded, well-ventilated place away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Do not leave silk in damp or poorly ventilated conditions for extended periods.

Ironing and Wrinkle Care

If the care label allows, iron on the reverse at a low temperature while the fabric is slightly damp, using a clean pressing cloth. Avoid high heat, lingering in one place or holding a steamer too close to the fabric.

Everyday Storage

• Make sure the item is fully dry before storing.
• Choose a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Fold garments and scarves neatly or use a suitable hanger, keeping rough hardware away from the fabric.
• Avoid spraying perfume, hairspray or alcohol-based products directly onto silk.

Stains and Professional Care

For stubborn stains, complex construction, colour-blocked designs or decorative trims, stop home treatment and consult a cleaner experienced with silk. Do not use chlorine bleach or an unverified strong stain remover.
