How to Care for Velvet Scarves

Our silk velvet scarves are washable. Here is how to keep yours soft for years.

Soft, vintage style

Our ruffle scarves are silk velvet front, back and ruffles, made in the USA. Like our velvet bedding, they are made to be washed, gently. Care notes differ from piece to piece, so always check the care note on your item's product page.

Everyday tips

Good laundry habits

These are general laundering habits, not product instructions. Your item's care note always comes first.

General tips
  • Wash with similar colors.
  • Do not overload the machine, so pieces can move freely.
  • Remove pieces promptly when the cycle ends.
  • Gently shake out and smooth ruffles while they are still damp.
  • Store folded in a breathable place.
