Sturdier than its reputation, but it rewards a light touch.

Hand wash cold, never dry clean. Cold water with a pH neutral silk detergent, no enzymes and no bleach. Swish gently and do not agitate.
Rinse and press, never wring. Rinse cold until it runs clear, lay flat on a clean towel and press gently. Twisting breaks the fibres.
Dry flat, out of direct sunlight. Reshape on a fresh towel and air dry. Sunlight yellows silk over time, and a dryer is never the answer.
Iron low, from the reverse. On the silk setting while slightly damp, always from the reverse side, with a press cloth.
Keep away from perfume and deodorant. Both stain silk permanently, so dress first and scent after.
Wash it on its own. Turn it inside out and wash silk separately from other colours, so no colour moves onto it.
Store it so it can breathe. Fold silk loosely in a drawer or keep it in a cotton bag, away from sunlight and never in sealed plastic.
When a seam opens, send it to us. Repair is complimentary for every HACOY piece, whatever its age. Start a repair and we bring it back.
