How neat is it that our velvety silk crepe not only looks elegant and feels luxuriously soft but is spun from the threads of a silkworm cocoon? We reserve the right to wear it daily, because no good thing should be left hanging for too long.

If you’re a lover of silk, prepare to visit the dry cleaners often, as water washing can shrink or damage your luxe pieces. If you must, a cold hand wash with gentle detergent will pass the test, pressing out excess water between a towel to remove moisture. Avoid the tumble dryer at all costs, iron or steam inside-out on low heat, and hang away for safe keeping. She might be high maintenance, but she’s worth it.
