Care guide

Caring for silk

With a little care, your silk will look as beautiful in three years as it did the day it arrived. Here's how.

  • 01

    Washing

    • · Hand wash in cool water (max 30°C) using a pH-neutral silk wash.
    • · Or use the silk/delicates cycle on your machine, inside a mesh bag.
    • · Never use bleach. Never use fabric softener.

  • 02

    Drying

    • · Lay flat to dry on a clean white towel, away from direct sunlight.
    • · Never tumble dry. Never wring or twist silk to remove water.
    • · Reshape gently while damp.

  • 03

    Ironing

    • · Iron on the lowest setting (silk setting), on the reverse side, while slightly damp.
    • · Use a pressing cloth if needed. Avoid the steam function — it can mark silk.

  • 04

    Storing

    • · Fold (do not hang) and store in the linen pouch we ship with every order.
    • · Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and damp environments.
    • · Replace pillowcases every 6–9 months for optimal feel.
