Caring for Your Scarf
A Gentle Reminder
Your silk twill scarf is more than fabric — it’s a companion, a memory, a statement. Treat it with care, and it will travel with you through seasons, cities, and moments that matter.
1. Storing Your Scarf
- Fold loosely or roll with acid-free tissue to avoid creases.
- Keep in a breathable cotton bag or drawer.
- Avoid long-term hanging; sunlight fades delicate colors.
- For moth protection, keep lavender sachets or cedar blocks nearby, but not touching the silk.
2. Wrinkle Rescue
- Hang in a steamy bathroom for gentle de-wrinkling.
- Use a handheld steamer on low, keeping the scarf a few inches away.
- Iron only if necessary: inside out, pressing cloth on top, lowest heat, very gentle.
- Avoid hot, direct irons or heavy pressure — silk twill is delicate.
3. Spot Cleaning & Stains
-Blot immediately; never rub.
-For oils or makeup: sprinkle cornstarch or talc, let sit, then brush gently.
-For protein stains (sweat, blood): rinse with cold water carefully.
-Ink and stubborn stains: professional dry cleaning recommended.
-Prevention is key: apply perfume and makeup before dressing, and keep hands clean when handling your scarf.
A Thought for Your Scarf
Think of these rituals not as chores, but as a way to honor the craftsmanship, art, and memories your scarf carries. With care, it becomes timeless — a daily companion and a piece of beauty that travels with you everywhere.
