How to take care of your silk piece?
Silk is a noble, delicate and naturally shiny material. With proper care, it will maintain its softness and beauty over time.
Washing
- Hand wash in cold water (20°C maximum) with a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics, or a mild shampoo if necessary.
- Do not soak for more than 5 minutes and never rub the fabric. Instead, it should be gently squeezed into the soapy water.
- Machine washing is generally not recommended, as it can weaken or alter the delicate fibers of silk. If you choose to machine wash, select only a very gentle cycle designed for silk and place the garment in a protective wash bag.
- Dry cleaning may be a suitable option for structured or tailored silk pieces.
Rinsing
- Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove any product residue.
Drying
- Do not twist the garment. Gently blot it with a clean towel to remove excess water.
-Reshape it and dry it flat on a clean towel, away from direct heat and sunlight. Hang drying may be suitable for lightweight garments, provided the garment is well supported and unlikely to lose its shape.
Ironing
- Iron inside out at low temperature, preferably when the fabric is still slightly damp.
- For extra protection, place a thin cloth between the iron and the silk.
The small gestures that make the difference
Avoid direct contact with perfume or deodorant
Be careful of jewelry or bags that could catch the fiber
Store your piece away from light, ideally on a hanger
When traveling, fold it gently to avoid excessive marks.
