Fabric Properties

SILK/ SATIN

Silk / Satin is a luxurious fabric known for its smooth, shiny surface and elegant drape, created using a specific satin weave with silk threads. It is a popular choice for high-end apparel like evening gowns, blouses, and lingerie.Key Characteristics

  • Aesthetics: It features a high-lustre, smooth front side and a duller back side, reflecting light beautifully.
  • Feel: The material is known for its luxurious, soft, and smooth feel against the skin.
  • Drapability: Silk satin has a very fluid and graceful drape, making it ideal for flowing garments.
  • Durability: When cared for correctly (typically dry-cleaned or hand-washed in cold water), it is a durable, long-lasting material.
  • Maintenance: This fabric can be delicate and high-maintenance; it's prone to snagging and water spotting, and generally requires professional cleaning or careful hand-washing to avoid damage. 

General Care Guide

  • TECHNICAL FABRIC (Polyamide) | Technical garments can be machine washed to a maximum of 30°C. We recommend a cold wash with a short spin, or drip dry. You can also gently hand wash your item; rinse thoroughly and then drip dry on the washing line.
  • COTTON POPLIN | Wash at 30°C using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use as it is likely to shrink. Iron using the appropriate setting for cotton on your iron. Dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
  • COTTON LINEN BLEND | Cold wash using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use as it is likely to shrink. Iron using the appropriate setting for cotton on your iron. Dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
  • COTTON SINGLE KNIT JERSEY (T-SHIRTS) | Single jersey knit / brushed fleece can be hand washed or machine washed at 30°C. Hand washing is always the best and safest method for jersey. For machine washing, turn the item inside out and place it in a mesh washing bag. Lay the item flat in its natural shape on a drying rack, hang to dry, or tumble dry on a low setting.
  • 100% SILK AND SILK BLEND | Dry clean only is recommended, as silk has a tendency to shrink and become hard. Iron using the appropriate setting for silk on your iron. Dry naturally. No tumble drying.
  • SOFT SATIN | Cold wash or dry clean (recommended) using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use. Iron using the appropriate setting for silk on your iron. Dry naturally. No tumble drying.
  • LEATHER | Can be polished with a neutral leather cream or wax to maintain the colour and prevent it from drying out.
  • WOOL AND WOOL BLEND | Cold wash only. Turn wool clothes inside out and wash on the delicate cycle (or the wool or hand wash cycle, if your washer has these settings). Use cold water and a mild liquid detergent, and add an extra rinse to the wash cycle. To avoid shrinking, don't put wool clothing in the dryer. No tumble drying and no warm water.
  • COTTON TWILL | For best care, we recommend a cold gentle machine wash with like colours at 40°C using a quality laundry liquid or powder. Wash inside out to protect the print. Do not soak, wring, rub, bleach or tumble dry. Dry flat or on a hanger. Warm iron on the reverse side.
