Silk Care Guide

Silk is a luxurious natural fibre known for its smooth hand feel, fluid drape and subtle lustre. Made from long, fine fibres, silk is lightweight yet surprisingly strong, offering breathability and comfort across seasons. Its refined appearance comes with a more delicate nature, so thoughtful care is essential to help silk garments maintain their beauty over time.

Washing

Silk requires professional care to maintain its texture, colour, and shape.

  • Dry clean only
  • Washing at home may cause the fabric to feel crunchy
  • Home washing can affect colour and garment dimensions
  • Dry clean once a season or when needed

Steaming & Ironing

Silk is delicate and can be damaged by direct heat.

  • Do not iron silk, as this can cause shine marks and flatten the texture
  • Steaming is the safest way to refresh silk garments
  • Hold the steamer at a distance and allow steam to relax the fibres
  • Avoid steaming too closely around seams, hems, and edges

Delicate Disclaimer

When wearing silk garments please ensure to take care around jewellery, bags and abrasive surfaces to help prevent pulls and extend the life of the garment.
