How to Care for a Silk Scarf
You can find detailed recommendations for all silk items in our “Silk Care Guide”. Here are the essentials:
Always follow the care label on the product.
Hand wash in cool water using a gentle detergent suitable for silk or wool.
Do not rub, wring or soak for long periods.
Dry flat, away from radiators and direct sunlight.
Iron on the silk setting, on the reverse side, with a protective cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Do not spray perfume or deodorant directly onto the scarf, as they may leave stains on silk.
Store folded in a dry place, away from jewellery with sharp details.
Scarves made from alpaca and silk yarn require equally gentle washing. Always dry them flat and never hang them while wet, as they may stretch out of shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the Difference Between a Silk Neckerchief and a Classic Silk Scarf?
A silk neckerchief is smaller and ideal for adding a subtle accent around your neck or in your hair. A classic silk scarf is larger and can be worn over the shoulders, on the head or folded and styled in different ways.
Do You Have Men’s Silk Neckerchiefs?
Yes, our collection includes men’s silk neckerchiefs.
Can You Machine Wash a Silk Scarf?
Hand washing in cool water is the safer option. If the care label allows machine washing, choose a delicate cycle and use a laundry bag.
