At Silkord, we select the finest raw materials to manufacture our silk products. However, even the highest quality materials may depreciate if not properly taken care. Silk is a protein fiber (just like your hair!) which means you can actually clean them similarly. Proper care preserves the durability, breathability, and timeless elegance of silk, allowing us to enjoy its comfort and beauty while promoting sustainability.
