Silk is a light and resilient natural fiber that repeats colors beautifully. Make sure to check the care label for exact instructions before washing your silk item. 

Getting it right


“Wash by hand” should be taken literally. Avoid wringing or rubbing an item.

Washing


Silk items should be washed gently in plenty of cool water with a detergent that’s made for silk. Washing your items separately and inside-out will help keep the colors even.

Taking precautions
  Silk is a delicate natural material that’s easily affected by chemicals such as perfumes or hairsprays. Sunlight may also weaken silk fibers or fade colors.
