How to use and keep your silk looking new

Versatile, comfortable, and elegant, silk is a practical luxury with a place in any wardrobe. With today’s ”peace silk,” made without harming silk worms, even those concerned about the environment can enjoy this fabric.
Although relatively durable, silk is protein fiber similar to human hair and does require special care to stay looking good. By knowing the right way to clean, dry, press, and store silk, you can keep your silk garments in top condition for years.
Dry cleaning Care instructions for most for silk items, especially for pure silk, recommend dry cleaning. For dupioni silk, lighter silks like chiffon, and crepe de Chine, and multi-color or hand-dyed prints, dry-cleaning usually is the best option.
For other types of silk, though, while dry cleaning helps maintain the original texture of the fabric, it does carry some risks. Commonly used cleaning solutions aren’t suited to silk and silks can be damaged if placed in the same vat with rougher fabrics. To make sure your silk gets proper treatment, always tell the dry cleaner that your garment is made from silk and make sure they know how to clean silk.
Care Tips for Washable Silk
1. Use a mild soap and cool or warm water. Strong alkaline detergents weaken silk.
2. Wash each garment separately as dyes may bleed.
3. Handle silk garments gently. Don't wring or twist the garment because silk is weaker when wet. After thorough rinsing, roll the item in a clean bath towel to remove excess moisture.
4. Don't use presoak products or chlorine bleach; both will damage silk.
5. Air dry the garment away from sunlight until damp dry. Use a padded or plastic hanger to distribute the weight of the wet garment.
6. While damp, press the silk item from the wrong side with a dry iron at a warm (silk) setting. A steam iron at a low setting may be used, being sure the iron doesn't "spit," which would cause water spots. Iron the fabric dry. Use a press cloth when doing touchups on the right side of the garment.
Silk is special. The care you give your silk garments will repay you in prolonged garment life.
Storage For long-term storage, keep silk in a cotton pillowcase or other material that can breathe. Avoid plastic, which traps moisture and can cause yellowing and mildew. Silk, like other natural fibers, is a favorite with moths, so store cedar chips or balls with your silk to keep the bugs away. Silk may be considered a luxury, but caring for it properly doesn’t cost much in terms of either money or time. Gentle washing, drying away from a heat source, and storage in material that provides air circulation is all silk really needs to stay looking good. Care for your silk garments well and they’ll keep their original softness and sheen for years.
Pressing Silk should be pressed while still damp, never when completely dry. If the item has dried, dampen it with water from a spritzer bottle before ironing. To avoid damage, turn the item inside out and iron on the reverse side of the fabric on a cotton-covered ironing board. Use a low setting and don’t use steam, which can leave watermarks. Because many silk garments are hand sewn, take care not to apply pressure to the seams of the garment.

AVOID detergents, which often contain enzymes and brighteners which can attack silk and dyes. Instead, use a product designed especially for silk, or in a pinch, use woollies or shampoo - although the moisturizing components can dampen the silken sheen. The best method is to dissolve the detergents in a water bath, into which the textiles are then placed.
* Washing machine — Silk can safely be cleaned in the woolen-cycle of your washing machine (water temp. 30°C). Always separate your colors and use a very short spin cycle.
* Vinegar rinse — A capful of white vinegar will protect your silk and its color. A brittle texture and a matt finish are indicators of alkali damage, which can be minimized through rinsing with the vinegar solution.
* Drying — Wet silk may yellow on a radiator or in direct sunlight. In the clothes dryer, your silk will suffer from the friction and the extreme lack of humidity. Avoid both of these methods. Spun silk is best hung to dry, and bourette silk should be shaped and dried on a flat surface. Avoid direct sunlight.

SILK SHAWL

Silk’ the very name emanates richness. And true to its name it brings richness to the ensemble, as a whole. Silk shawls make any outfit look more appealing. No doubt it was what the royals were always seen in. Think of any movie of yore where the king and queen were depicted. The royal cast would always have a silk shawl around their shoulders.

To bring to its richness even more colored stones were embellished all around it. Even embroidery makes it look extravagant. In the north Indian states you will find a typical style of embroidery done on every silk shawl of flowers and leaves filled with colours giving it a unique look to the self-coloured shawl.

The silk shawl can be quite heavy on the pocket. Provided they are of pure silk and emblazoned with semi-precious or precious stones. The lower budgeted ones are made from raw silk or synthetic silk. So although it looks real, it is not. But if it serves your purpose you rather pick it up than dig deep into your pockets.

Silk shawls, especially made in India have a growing market in Europe. Firstly because of the rich silk that India is famous for and secondly the embroidery art is appreciated as it is very native to India.

These types of shawls are more like a style statement. They give your dress more glory. They are certainly not to protect you from the chill weathers. However it may assist you if it is a few degrees lower than the normal temperature. Hence it is more sought after for style and fashion

Scarves... How To Choose and Buy Scarfs!

Having a scarf collection would be a great start if you’re thinking of updating your wardrobe. Be it casual or elegant, there would surely be a scarf to go with your outfit. Square scarves can be worn on various parts of your body and even when it’s warm. The key is choosing the right scarf for the occasion and weather and knowing how to buy the perfect one.

The Basics of Scarf-Buying:
For starters, buy solid and neutral-colored scarves that would complement practically any of your everyday clothes. Some examples of neutral colors are white, black, cream, and different shades of brown. It’s great when you have scarves in these colors because on days when you’re on a rush, you don’t have to waste time worrying if they will match with your outfit.
One important thing to consider, though, before you put on any type of scarf is the material used to make it. To make sure you’re comfortable, wear a square scarf with a fabric that is appropriate to the weather or climate. For instance, a lightweight and see-through scarf is ideal to wear during the summer and a scarf made of pure wool is perfect for the winter. A good idea would be to buy two scarves of the same neutral color but in different types of fabrics, one for warm months and another for the cold season.

Be Scarf Adventurous:
While a scarf in solid colors makes it a no-brainer to mix and match, a carefully-chosen printed scarf, commonly known as a fashion scarf, would definitely brighten your look. Fashion scarves come in so many designs from pretty paisleys to patterns like checkered or zigzags, animal prints and funky designs like mushrooms, skulls and ladybugs. There is also the designer brand scarf produced by top fashion designers and worn by celebrities, which as you can expect have exquisite designs and of course a breathtaking price tag.
It all depends on your personal taste and preferences what exactly to choose. The point is, don’t be afraid to try on a new design now and then so you can get the most out of this versatile fashion piece. A good rule to follow when shopping for a multi-color or printed scarf is to choose one with colors that will bring out the color of your eyes and also complements your skin tone and hair color.

Where to Wear It:
One thing that will help you decide when choosing or shopping for the right scarf is where you intend to wear the scarf. A luxurious faux fur scarf may be too much for a simple lunch out with friends or a scarf with a bold leopard print would also not work in a strict corporate setting. Here are some ideas: If you’re attending a corporate event or a business meeting or you’re just aiming for a smart, classy look on any regular workday, a vintage silk scarf will surely liven up your business wardrobe. A crochet scarf is a perfect accessory if you’re spending a day on the beach while a long, knitted scarf is great for a casual weekend. For a formal evening affair, a sheer white scarf over a black pantsuit or dress is all you need to get that ultra-sophisticated look.

Shopping for scarves is fun. Just remember to get the basics first and then feel free to express yourself with a fashion scarf but just keep your wardrobe in mind when buying one so it will match your outfit every time. Lastly, choosing a scarf is just one thing, wearing it is another. You can learn about the latest, trendiest ways to wear a scarf online or browse through your favorite entertainment or fashion magazine. In no time, you’ll be wearing a scarf like an A-list celebrity.
