Gentle wash
First, when it comes to washing, gentleness is essential. Contrary to popular belief, silk can be hand-washed with care. A natural silk scarf should be hand-washed in cold water with a mild soap specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid twisting or rubbing your scarf at all costs, as this may damage the fibers. Ideally, lay it flat to dry, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the colors and the delicacy of the patterns. This method helps maintain color intensity.

Proper storage
First, it is possible to iron silk, but only at very low temperatures and very gently, without using steam. It is better to use a water spray. Next, storage is very important. A 90x90cm square, 75x75cm square, or a Mini Carré Scarf be folded flat or gently rolled to avoid creases. Our lavallières and maxi-lavallières can be hung to maintain their fluidity. Small accessories like silk bracelets should be stored in a box away from light.

Good daily habits
Finally, how you wear and care for your accessories on a daily basis directly affects their longevity. Avoid contact with perfumes or cosmetics that can damage a silk scarf or stole. When wearing a square Mini Carré Scarf or a Mini Carré Scarf, be careful to avoid excessive rubbing, especially against jewelry. By taking good care of each silk scarf, you extend the life of these unique items, true symbols of style and elegance.
