How To Properly Care For Vintage Silk: Scarves, Ties & Blouses
Vintage silk pieces are delicate treasures, whether it’s a luxury scarf, classic tie, or elegant blouse. Proper care ensures longevity, maintains colour, and preserves the fabric’s natural sheen.
At Casspio’s Dream, we offer curated silk scarves, ties, and blouses. Here’s how to care for them so they remain in pristine condition.
1. Cleaning Vintage Silk
- Dry Clean Only: Most vintage silk should be professionally dry cleaned, especially items with intricate prints or embellishments.
- Hand Wash Carefully: If washing at home, use cold water and a gentle silk detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
- Spot Cleaning: Treat small stains gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

2. Drying And Storage
- Air Dry: Lay flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Store Properly: Fold loosely in acid-free tissue or hang using padded hangers to avoid creases.
- Avoid Moths: Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets in storage to protect from pests.
3. Ironing And Pressing
- Use the lowest heat setting on your iron or a silk setting.
- Iron on the reverse side or through a protective cloth.
- Avoid steam directly on delicate prints or embellishments.
4. Protecting Vintage Silk
Always handle silk with clean hands. Avoid perfumes, deodorants, or cosmetics contacting the fabric. Rotate usage to prevent wear and tear.
