How to Wash and Care for Cashmere and Silk

Tips for washing and caring for cashmere and silk

Take care of your delicate fibres with these simple but essential care tips. By following these steps, you can extend the life of your cashmere and silk items while gently removing small everyday stains.

Hand washing (recommended)

Use cold or lukewarm water (between 10°C and 30°C maximum).
Choose a natural soap or baby shampoo.
Do not rub or wring the fabric. Rinse thoroughly, then gently press out the water by hand.
Do not use fabric softener.

Machine washing (with care)

Choose a “wool” programme at a maximum of 30°C.
Place the stole in a protective laundry bag.
Use a mild soap or baby shampoo, without fabric softener.
Do not exceed 600 rpm for the spin cycle.

Drying and ironing

Dry flat, away from direct sunlight.
Iron at a medium temperature using the “wool” setting.
For embroidered pieces, always iron on the reverse side.
❌ Never tumble dry.

Tip

Add 3 drops of white vinegar during the first wash only for stoles made with natural (plant-based) dyes, to help set the colours.
