Silk Care

Delicate hand wash only with a maximum water temperature of 30*. Light steam is preferable. Silk is naturally anti-microbial & moisture wicking, which means it doesn’t require washing as often as synthetic fibres. Try spot cleaning then airing this breathable fabric, less washing is also kinder to the planet. 

We recommend using a delicate silk detergent for all of our pieces.



Steaming & Ironing: Hang your pieces to air dry where possible. It is kinder to lightly steam your garment if you wish to get rid of unwanted creases & wrinkles. Preferably with a hand steamer. Do not touch the silk or lace with the steamer. Steaming has the added benefits of eliminating germs and odours & add lustre back into your garment. Please never iron lace.

Silk: If you use an iron please use your irons delicate, silk or lowest heat setting. Preferably iron placing a cloth over the silk to protect the finish especially on the front. You must iron silk gently to avoid any damage. Iron your silk while it’s still slightly damp after washing & remember to turn the garment inside out first. This fabric is particularly delicate and a high temperature will result in scorching or burning, we prefer to steam our garment instead.



Long-Term Storage: Store silks & laces in breathable dry containers if you intend to keep it stored for long periods of time. Use a Moth preventative.
