How to care for your silk products

Silk is an incredibly luxurious fabric that has natural dirt repellant properties.

Silk fabric garments – Wrinkle free silk

Silk is a natural protein fibre, so it tends to crease easier than synthetic fibres. Steaming is the best method to keep your silk wrinkle free. You can simply hang it in a steamed bathroom to help flatten out the creases, or use a steamer.

Storage and Travel

All our pure mulberry silk products are carefully packaged in a secure box. We recommend to keep them in the original packaging when possible to retain their quality, especially when travelling.

Washing

To extend the longevity of your silk products hand wash in Woolite, but be sure to follow the instructions.

Handwashing

  • Turn the silk garment inside out.
  • Fill a basin or bath with lukewarm water – 30 degrees Celsius
  • Add a few drops of silk detergent
  • Submerge the garment and gently stir in the soapy water with your hands to evenly and distribute the detergent in the water.
  • Soak for 30 minutes
  • Take the garment out of the soapy water (if there is colour in the water do not panic – this is normal. You will not notice any loss of colour in the garment when you are done)
  • Run clean lukewarm water through the garment until the rinse water is no longer soapy
  • DO NOT ring or twist the garment
  • Use a clean white towel to soak up the moisture.
  • Lay the item flat in its natural shape on a drying rack or hang to dry. If you happen to hang to dry,  position the item properly on the hanger to prevent stretching.

Silk Duvet and pillow inners care & maintenance

Silk-filled duvets may be professionally dry cleaned on a cold cycle, gently hand washed in cold water using Woolite, or returned to us for professional cleaning and refurbishing.

We recommend airing your duvet 3–4 times per year to maintain freshness and performance. We also offer a refurbishing service for older duvets.

Mulberry silk now accounts for more than 95% of the silk produced globally.

A fun gift for girls’ nights and special occasions

Silk bonnets also make a wonderfully different gift for a hen party, girls’ movie night, birthday sleepover or pamper evening. Give everyone a silk bonnet to wear for the evening and you have a fun, memorable accessory that can actually become part of their bedtime routine afterwards. Choose matching black, pearl white or champagne bonnets for the group, or mix the colours to give each guest her own style. Made from luxurious 22 momme mulberry silk, a silk bonnet is a thoughtful gift that combines a little indulgence with something genuinely useful.

Why sleep in a silk bonnet?

Your hair spends several hours rubbing against your pillow and bedding while you sleep. Traditional fabrics can create friction as you move during the night, particularly when you have curly, textured, dry, fragile or colour-treated hair.

The naturally smooth surface of silk creates less friction, helping your hair move more easily rather than constantly catching against the fabric. This can help reduce tangling and the appearance of morning frizz while helping your hair retain its natural moisture and oils.

A silk bonnet can also help you maintain curls and other hairstyles overnight, potentially reducing the amount of styling and reshaping needed in the morning.

It is a small change, but one that can make your nightly routine feel considerably more luxurious.

Pure 22 momme mulberry silk

At SILK SA, we believe the quality of the silk matters. Our hair bonnets are made from 100% mulberry silk in 22 momme, providing a substantial, luxurious silk fabric rather than a lightweight imitation.

The result is a bonnet that feels soft and smooth against your hair while bringing the natural qualities of genuine mulberry silk into your everyday routine.

Find your perfect silk bonnet

Whether you prefer the simplicity of our classic silk bonnet or the personalised fit of our adjustable silk bonnet with tie, there is a style to suit your bedtime routine.

Choose classic Black, elegant Pearl White or luxurious Champagne in our classic range, or select Black or Pearl White in the adjustable style.

Whichever you choose, you can enjoy the feel of pure 22 momme mulberry silk while giving your hair a smoother, more comfortable environment during the night.
