Product Information

Full details

The Silk and Bears Mulberry Silk Shawl Wrap is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated accessory that elevates both evening ensembles and everyday outfits. Its primary benefit is the combination of pure, handwoven mulberry habotai silk that offers a featherlight drape and a rich, jewel-toned plum aesthetic. While it is incredibly luxurious and versatile, potential owners should note that the delicate nature of pure silk requires careful, gentle handling to maintain its sheen and structural integrity over time.

FAQs

Is the silk machine washable?

No. Due to the delicate nature of habotai silk and the handwoven construction, we strongly advise hand-washing or professional dry cleaning.

Can this be worn as a headwrap?

Yes, its 85 x 180 cm dimensions provide enough material to be styled as a headwrap, turban, or hair accessory.

Does the color bleed?

The traditional dyeing techniques ensure color richness; however, always test a small, inconspicuous area if you suspect a reaction to specific detergents.

Is this suitable for summer weather?

Yes, because the fabric is lightweight and breathable mulberry silk, it is excellent for adding a layer of style without causing overheating.

Where is this scarf made?

Each piece is handmade by artisans in Nha Xa, a village known for its centuries-old silk production and dyeing traditions.

Troubleshooting

The scarf has developed wrinkles from storage

Use a garment steamer on a low, silk-safe setting from a distance of several inches to gently release creases without damaging the fibers.

The fabric snagged on jewelry or a rough surface

Gently pull the fabric surrounding the snag in four directions to encourage the weave to realign itself. Do not cut the thread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 100% mulberry silk construction
  • Versatile size suitable for multiple styling options
  • Rich, permanent jewel-toned plum color
  • Handmade by traditional master artisans
  • Lightweight and breathable for all-day comfort

Cons

  • Requires delicate hand-washing or dry cleaning
  • Silk fabric is prone to snags if handled roughly
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty winter warmth
  • Requires careful storage to prevent wrinkling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this accessory is crafted from 100% pure silk, maintenance is key to longevity. Always store your scarf flat or folded neatly in a cool, dry place to prevent deep creasing. Avoid hanging the scarf on sharp hooks, as the delicate weave can catch and snag. For cleaning, hand-washing in cool water with a dedicated silk-friendly detergent is recommended. Do not wring or twist the fabric; instead, lay it flat on a clean towel to dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rich purple dye to fade over time.
