Scarf Care Guide
Simple steps to keep your silk scarves fresh and beautiful
Washing silk scarves
Hand wash separately in cool water.
Use a gentle detergent suitable for silk.
Do not soak or bleach.
Do not wring or twist.
Storing your scarves
Keep silk scarves away from sharp objects or rough surfaces to stop snags. If possible, store yours flat or loosely rolled. Avoid hanging your scarf on hooks, as this can stretch the fibres and leave marks over time.
Preventing colour fade
Keep your scarf out of direct sunlight. This stops fading and helps preserve those Fig & Fern designs you love.
Dealing with creases
Use a cool iron, or hang in a steamy room. Never iron directly on prints—place a cloth over your scarf first.
Spot cleaning tips
Dab gently with a damp cloth and silk-friendly soap. Act quickly for best results, and always air dry flat.
When Traveling
Fold or loosely roll. A light steam after unpacking will help restore the natural drape.
Why silk care matters
Caring for silk helps your scarf last longer, keeps colours rich, and textures smooth. At Fig & Fern, I aim to make every scarf feel as special as the day you got it—wherever you are in the world.
