The silk
Silk scarves
Care tips for your silk scarves
Wash your silk scarf in lukewarm water and a mild detergent. By hand or by machine (hand program, 30 °, 600 revolutions maximum). Gently wring out your silk. You can use a terry towel to absorb the water if necessary. Spread out your scarf and let it air dry. Be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight. Then iron your scarf slightly damp, inside out and with a soft iron. Avoid using steam so as not to wet your silk, as this may cause a halo.
If the scarf is already dry, iron it using a damp cloth. It is not recommended to insist on hems and seams.

Storage
Silk is a natural and living material. Do not put it in a box or roll it into a ball. The ideal is to hang it up, so that it does not crease and that it can breathe. It is also important not to expose it to direct light so as not to discolor the fabric.
silk ties
Care tips for your ties
To clean a silk tie, we recommend that you take it to the dry cleaners. To remove a stain from your silk tie: moisten it with lukewarm water and put a touch of Marseille soap on the stain. Do not scratch as this may damage the fabric. Then let your tie air dry. Then iron it with a soft iron.
Remember to untie the tie after wearing it.
To reduce the wear area, try to tie your tie always at the same level. If creases persist, do not iron your tie directly but use the steam from your iron (be careful to keep the iron away from the tie). Small tip: you can hang your tie in your bathroom when you take a shower. The action of the steam will smooth out the fabric.
