FAQs

 Q. Are silk shawls warm despite being lightweight?

Yes. Although silk shawls are thin, they trap heat close to the body. Silk’s low heat conductivity makes it effective for warmth during cooler months, especially in autumn and early winter.

 Q. How is a silk shawl ecofriendly?

Silk is biodegradable and environmentally sustainable. Historically cherished by royalty, Indian silk is especially valued for its strength, absorbency, and natural sheen. Handwoven Indian silk represents wearable art, crafted through centuriesold traditions.

 Q. How do you keep a silk wrap in place?

Silk wraps are gentle on hair and skin. Unlike cotton, silk does not absorb natural oils, reducing frizz, breakage, and skin irritation. This makes silk ideal for overnight use or prolonged wear.

 Q. How should you clean a silk shawl?

Hand wash gently in cold water using a mild silksafe detergent. Soak briefly (no more than five minutes), rinse carefully, and avoid wringing. Roll in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry.

 Q. How long do silk scarves last?

High quality silk can last a lifetime when properly cared for. Despite its delicate appearance, silk is exceptionally strong—historically even used for armor and parachutes due to its durability and elasticity.

 Q. How can you identify real silk?

Genuine silk feels luxuriously soft and changes color subtly when light hits it. It passes easily through a ring due to its smoothness, unlike artificial silk, which tends to snag and appear stiff with a white sheen.
