Caring for silk between wears

Storage, gentle handling and why the garment label should come first.

Check the label first

Different fibres, dyes and finishes can need different care. Pure silk and mixed-silk labels should not be treated as interchangeable instructions.

The collection's silk care guidance favours dry cleaning. If the garment label allows washing, use its instructions rather than a general silk tip from another product.

Prevent snags and marks

Put jewellery on carefully and keep sharp bag hardware away from the fabric. Let perfume and body products dry before dressing, rather than spraying them onto the garment.

If a mark appears, avoid rubbing aggressively or experimenting with heat. Ask a cleaner experienced with delicate textiles for advice.

Store without pressure or strong light

Use a suitable hanger or fold gently in a clean, dry space. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and crowded storage where the fabric can be caught by neighbouring zips.

Before steaming or ironing, check what the care label permits. Start with the recommended gentle setting and protect the fabric as instructed.
