Care
XIANGYUN SILK CARE
Xiangyun silk is a heritage textile crafted from mulberry silk through repeated botanical dyeing with Dioscorea cirrhosa and traditional mud finishing. Its distinctive surface and subtle variations evolve beautifully with wear.
To preserve its natural character:
- Wash only when necessary.
- When washing is necessary, gently hand wash in cold water below 30°C / 86°F.
- Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent formulated for silk.
- Do not machine wash, bleach, soak for extended periods, rub, or wring.
- Gently press out excess water without twisting.
- Hang dry naturally in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Steam from a short distance or iron on low heat with a protective cloth.
- Avoid direct contact with perfume, harsh chemicals, and rough surfaces.
- Store hanging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
Natural variations in color, texture, and sheen are part of the character of traditionally crafted Xiangyun silk and should not be considered defects.
