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.

Two Silk Bonnet Styles: Standard or Adjustable

We have also expanded our range of silk hair bonnets with two different designs: the Standard Silk Hair Bonnet with elastic and the Adjustable Silk Hair Bonnet with tie.

Once again, the important distinction is the design rather than the silk. Both are made from premium 22 Momme Mulberry Silk, giving your hair the same smooth, low-friction surface while you sleep.

The Standard Silk Hair Bonnet

The standard bonnet is designed for simplicity.

It features an elastic opening that allows the bonnet to be put on quickly and comfortably before bed. Once positioned, the elastic helps keep the bonnet in place while you sleep.

This is an excellent choice if you want a straightforward nighttime hair-care routine without having to adjust or tie the bonnet.

It is particularly convenient for everyday use. Simply gather your hair, place the bonnet over it and you’re ready for bed.

The smooth Charmeuse silk helps reduce the friction that can occur when hair rubs against bedding during the night. This can help minimise frizz, tangling and breakage while helping hair retain more of its natural moisture.

For someone who wants simple, effective and effortless, the standard elastic bonnet is difficult to beat.

The Adjustable Silk Hair Bonnet with Tie

The adjustable bonnet takes a slightly more personalised approach.

Instead of relying solely on an elastic opening, the bonnet incorporates a tie that allows you to adjust the fit according to your preference.

This makes it particularly useful for people who want more control over how securely their bonnet sits. You can loosen the tie for a more relaxed fit or adjust it to help keep the bonnet securely positioned during the night.

It is also an attractive option for people with different hair volumes or hairstyles who prefer the flexibility of being able to alter the fit.

The adjustable design doesn’t mean compromising on the silk. Like the standard bonnet, it uses 22 Momme 100% Mulberry Silk, with the same luxurious Charmeuse surface.

Which Silk Bonnet Should You Choose?

Again, there is no right or wrong choice. It depends on how you prefer to wear your bonnet.

Choose the Standard Silk Bonnet if you want:

  • Quick and easy application
  • A simple elastic fit
  • An uncomplicated bedtime routine
  • A traditional bonnet design
  • Easy everyday use

Choose the Adjustable Silk Bonnet if you want:

  • Greater control over the fit
  • An adjustable tie
  • The ability to loosen or tighten the bonnet
  • A more personalised fit
  • Flexibility for different hair volumes and hairstyles

Both designs provide your hair with the key advantage of sleeping against premium Mulberry Silk rather than a rougher, more absorbent fabric.

 

Why 22 Momme Matters

Whichever design you choose, the quality of the silk should be the first consideration.

Momme is a measurement of silk fabric density. While 19 Momme silk can be perfectly good quality, 22 Momme provides a denser and more substantial fabric. It offers a combination of luxurious weight, durability, lustre and longevity that makes it particularly suitable for products used every night.

This is why SILK SA doesn’t offer multiple silk grades simply to create different price points.

Our philosophy is simple: uncompromising quality.

Our pillowcases and bonnets are made from 100% Mulberry Silk, 22 Momme, 6A Grade, with a Charmeuse weave. The result is a smooth, naturally lustrous fabric that feels luxurious against your skin and hair.

The Choice Is Yours

The introduction of the hidden zipper pillowcase and adjustable bonnet gives you more choice without changing what matters most: the quality of the silk.

For pillowcases, choose between the classic simplicity of the envelope closure or the secure, structured finish of the hidden zipper.

For bonnets, choose the easy, uncomplicated fit of the standard elastic bonnet or the personalised fit of the adjustable tie bonnet.

Whichever combination you choose, you’re getting the same SILK SA commitment to premium materials and craftsmanship.

100% Mulberry Silk. 22 Momme. Premium quality. No compromises.

That’s SILK SA: Uncompromising Quality.
