Special Notes

Highest quality silk — handle with extra care

Use a mesh bag if machine washing on delicate

Additional Care Tips

  • Dry clean only for garments — specify silk-safe solvent to cleaner
  • If hand washing, use cool water (below 30°C) with silk-specific detergent only
  • Never wring, twist, or rub — blot gently with a towel to remove water
  • Air dry flat on a towel away from sunlight — UV causes yellowing
  • Iron inside out on the lowest setting with no steam, or use a press cloth
  • Store in breathable garment bags on padded hangers; avoid plastic which traps moisture
