Why silk twill requires special attention
Silk twill is a very fine material, recognizable by its diagonal weave which gives it softness, shine and resistance. This exceptional fabric, from high-end Italian suppliers, is at the heart of our collections of scarves and twilly.
However, its noble nature requires specific care to avoid any damage. With proper maintenance, your accessory will keep its shine and vibrant colors for many years.
Hand washing: the best option for silk
Never machine wash: Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, is strongly discouraged for silk twill scarves and twilly. Friction, spinning and temperature variations may irreversibly damage the fiber.
Prefer hand washing:
-
Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C).
-
Add a mild detergent specially designed for silk or a pH neutral detergent.
-
Immerse your scarf or twilly and gently shake it for 3 to 5 minutes. Never rub the fabric to avoid breaking the fibers.
-
Rinse thoroughly with cold water until all traces of soap are removed.
Drying: Preserve shape and texture
-
Never twist silk: After washing, avoid wringing it out. This could damage the weave.
-
Use a towel: Place your scarf or twilly between two clean towels and gently blot to remove excess water.
-
Dry flat: Lay flat on a clean, smooth surface, away from direct light and any heat source (radiators, sun).
Ironing: pay attention to details
To find a perfectly smooth scarf or twilly:
-
Iron inside out to avoid altering the natural shine of the silk.
-
Use an iron at a low temperature (silk mode) and place a thin cloth between the iron and your accessory.
-
Work gently so as not to mark the fiber.
Storage and preservation: simple but essential actions
-
Store flat: Prefer flat storage in a box or in the cotton pouch supplied with your silk accessory.
-
Avoid hangers: Hanging your scarf could cause it to warp.
-
Protect from light and moisture: Store your accessories in a dry, dark place to avoid discoloration or mold growth.
