Silk

Silk is a delicate, natural fabric known for its luxurious feel and appearance. Silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms which makes it expensive to make. It's lightweight and comfortable, so it's a good choice throughout the year.

Wash and Care Instructions

Hand washing is recommended for silk scarves to preserve its quality. Never place silk near any heat sources or hang them in the sun because it can cause fading. We recommend professional dry cleaning to preserve the quality of the silk.

  1. Spot-treatment

    • Pre-treat makeup or oil stains on the fabric before washing.
    • Apply a dab of regular shampoo or silk shampoo directly onto the stained spot.
    • Work it into the fabric with your fingers.
    • Allow the detergent to work for at least 15 minutes before continue washing the silk.

  2. Water Bath

    • Fill a sink with lukewarm water.
    • Swish the shampoo through the water to evenly distribute it.

  3. Wash the Scarf

    • Submerge the scarf and gently squeeze the cleaning solution into the fabric. Avoid excessive rubbing, because it can break the silk fibers and dull the finish.
    • Rinse the scarf carefully in fresh cool water.

  4. Remove Excess Moisture

    • To remove excess moisture, place the scarf between two towels.
    • Pat the towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Do not twist or wring excessively.

  5. Air-Dry

    • Air-dry the scarf by hanging it on a plastic hanger.
    • Rapid drying in front of an electric fan prevents formation of watermarks and helps retain the glossy finish.

  6. Ironing

    • Silk should be slightly damp when pressed.
    • Use the silk setting on the iron.
    • Iron on the opposite (wrong) side.
    • Never press on the hems, as these are handstitched and delicate.

Cotton

Cotton is the most widely produced natural fiber on the planet. Cotton fibers come from cotton plants. Specifically, they grow from the seed coat—the outer layer of the cotton plant's seeds. It's a breathable fabric and with a sweat-absorbing quality, which makes it a perfect choice in the summer and day-to-day wear.

Wash and Care Instructions

Hand washing is recommended for cotton scarves to preserve its quality. Some washing machines have gentle cycles at only 30°C.

  1. Spot-treatment

    • Pre-treat makeup or oil stains on the fabric before washing.
    • Apply a dab of non-aggressive detergent directly onto the stained spot.
    • Work it into the fabric with your fingers.

  2. Water Bath & Wash

    • Fill a sink with lukewarm water.
    • Swish the detergent through the water to evenly distribute it.
    • Submerge the scarf and let is soak for one hour.

  3. Rinse and Drain

    • Rinse and drain the scarf.
    • Wring it gently without twisting the fabric. Twisting breaks the fibers and cause creases.

  4. Air-Dry

    • Air-dry the scarf by laying the cotton scarf on a flat cloth or towel.
    • Cotton is a natural fiber which tends to shrink, especially when subjected to heat, so be sure not to place the scarf near any heat sources or hang them in the sun. We recommend professional dry cleaning to preserve the quality of the cotton.

  5. Ironing

    • Iron on the opposite side, to preserve shape and the hems.
    • If the scarf is particularly wrinkly, we recommend ironing it while slightly damp.

    • Don't overheat the scarf, as this can cause a distortion of the shape.
    • Because chiffon is very delicate, we suggest steam irons as they do not cause fabric burns.
