Gentle washing
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 textiles. Absolutely avoid twisting or rubbing your scarf, as this may damage the fibers. Ideally, lay it flat to dry, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the colors and the fineness of the patterns. This method helps maintain color intensity.

Appropriate storage
First, ironing silk is possible, but at very low temperatures and very gently, without using steam. A water spray is more advisable. Then, storage matters a lot. A 90x90cm square, 75x75cm square, or a gavroche should 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, daily wear and care directly influence the longevity of your accessories. Avoid contact with perfumes or cosmetic products that can alter a silk scarf or stole. When wearing a square or a gavroche, be careful to limit excessive rubbing, especially with jewelry. By taking care of each silk scarf, you extend the life of these unique items, true companions of style and elegance.
