Caring for Scarves

Scarves – A Saving Grace

ā€¢ A scarf not only looks great and serves as an outfit making fashion accessory, but it can protect your garments, especially expensive coats, leathers, furs, etc. from make-up stains, neck perspiration and body oils.

ā€¢ So even if you donā€™t consider yourself a ā€œscarf personā€ rethink your position. Indulging in the luxury of this accessory is also protecting your most treasured garments.

ā€¢ Finally, when you bring your scarves into your drycleaner, be sure to request hand finishing, itā€™s the best method for hand rolled hems.

Taking Care With Your Scarves

ā€¢ Donā€™t leave your scarf knotted after wearing it.

ā€¢ Do not pull or tug on the knot to loosen it. Gently reverse the procedure you used to knot it.

ā€¢ Do not iron a scarf that youā€™ve already worn to press out ā€˜knotā€™ creases. The heat of the iron will permanently set any invisible (ex. Tannin) stains that may be present.

ā€¢ If the scarf was stained during the course of wear, take it in promptly for cleaning and request hand finishing. Itā€™s the only method to preserve the ā€˜rollā€™ in a hand rolled hem.
