Care Guide

So your gorgeous silk scarf needs a little TLC? Here's how to keep it looking beautiful:

Washing

  • Treat your scarf to a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water—hot water is its nemesis!
  • Choose a mild detergent specially made for silk or delicates.
  • Swish gently for a couple of minutes without rubbing or twisting.
  • Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Drying

  • Press excess water out between clean towels— blot, don't wring it out!
  • Lay your scarf flat on a fresh towel away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid hanging your wet scarf as gravity will pull and potentially stretch it out of shape.

Quick Touch-ups

  • When wrinkles appear, steam or iron on the lowest silk setting.
  • For extra protection, place a clean cotton cloth between your iron and scarf.

Storage

  • Hang your scarf on a padded or rounded hanger to prevent sharp creases.
  • Alternatively, roll the scarf loosely or fold with tissue paper between layers.
  • Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Allow some breathing room between scarves when hanging to prevent snagging.

Oops! Stains?

  • Spotted something? Blot (never rub!) immediately with a clean cloth.
  • For water-based stains, gently dab with a tiny bit of silk-friendly detergent.
  • Oil marks? Try sprinkling a little talcum powder to absorb the oil.
  • When in doubt, trust a professional dry cleaner with silk experience.

Big No-No's

  • Keep harsh detergents, bleach and fabric softeners far away from your silk.
  • Apply perfumes and hairsprays before putting on your scarf.
  • Skip the washing machine and dryer completely.
  • Avoid storing in plastic bags which can trap moisture.
