To ensure your Nassy London pieces remain as beautiful as the day they arrived, we recommend following the care instructions below. With the right attention, your silk will retain its softness, lustre, and timeless elegance for years to come.
They are not the same! “Washable silk” is a specific kind of silk that has been pre-treated or made in a way that can withstand washing. If your silk is labeled “dry clean only,” or if it doesn’t mention anything about being washable, treat it as a delicate item and do not put it in the washing machine.
At Nassy London, we craft our pieces from luxurious 19 momme Mulberry silk that should always be hand washed gently or taken to a trusted dry cleaner.
We don’t recommend you wash your Nassy London pieces this way, but if you trust your washing machine and usually wash your delicates in it, these are our tips:
This does not apply to dry-clean only items. Always check your care label before washing.
Silk is a protein fiber, like your hair. It doesn’t need strong soaps or intense scrubbing to get clean.
If you choose to hand wash your silk:
Lay flat or hang on a padded hanger to dry—never in direct sunlight.
Hang your silks to air dry and never put any of your Nassy London garments in the tumble dryer.
Iron or steam your silk to restore lustre and sheen. Use your iron’s delicate or lowest heat setting.
Always iron on the reverse side of your garment. If you need to iron directly on the front, place a cotton cloth over the area to protect the silk.
Before washing, it’s best to test for colorfastness. Dampen a white cloth and press it against an inside seam—if the color transfers, your item should only be dry cleaned.
Embroidered, embellished, or velvet pieces require dry cleaning only due to the delicate nature of these fabrics. We do not recommend ironing these pieces. If necessary, carefully steam them with a handheld steamer to avoid any pulls or damage.
We are committed to extending the life of your garments while being mindful of our impact.
