Frequently asked questions
Why does silk feel different in softness?
From a fabric production perspective, adding high concentrations of softeners can make silk softer, but the chemical components in these softeners can reduce the fabric's strength, making it more susceptible to damage and unsuitable for long-term use. Considering the long-term wear experience of silk products, we refuse to use high concentrations of softeners and instead use a split-resistant treatment. If you feel your silk isn't soft enough, let the garment air-dry for a while; the softness will improve.
Why do dark-colored products fade?
Silk is an animal fiber, so dyes don't adhere 100% properly. Color fading is normal, and it becomes more noticeable with darker colors. Our silk fabrics are all made with environmentally friendly, reactive dyes that are harmless. If slight fading occurs, don't worry. After a few washes, the color will stabilize and will not affect the original color of the garment. Be careful not to wash your silk with other clothing. Our silk fabrics are tested for color fastness and meet national standards. Wear with confidence.
Why do silk products wrinkle easily?
the saying goes, wrinkle-free silk isn't real silk. If you're concerned about wrinkles, please purchase with caution. (Washing according to care instructions will significantly reduce wrinkles, but to keep silk looking its best, ironing is still recommended. A quick hang iron can quickly and easily fix the problem.)
Why do products cause static electricity when worn on the body?
atic electricity is caused by friction, which transfers electrons and causes an object to become electrically charged. Any fiber (including silk) can generate static electricity when rubbed in a dry environment, though the degree varies. This doesn't mean that pure silk products are completely free of static electricity! It can simply be said that they are less susceptible to static accumulation than synthetic fibers (such as polyester).
Recommended Methods for Testing Silk:
lberry silk is made of animal fibers, so burning the edges of the fabric with fire will produce a smell like burnt hair or wool. The silk ash can be crushed by hand. (Soaking finished mulberry silk in 84°F (84°C) is not recommended, as it takes a long time to dissolve. Unprocessed mulberry silk is more suitable for 84°F testing.)
