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.
