textured black flowy silk tunic

There is a bit of history in this one - the surged ridges fabric that you see is something that the artist used to do years back, and while moving the studio, she found one large piece prepared for sewing that somehow fell through the cracks! It was perfect for this breathable (the body is very fine silk habotai) yet beautifully drapey tunic that you see which came to be as a result. It is lightweight in concept but has a bit of extra weight to it because of the mixed silks on the bottom. Comfortable and soft to the touch, it features a flattering A-line, mixed fabrics, and a fun pocket that blends with the bottom. An insert of distressed silk knit provide a bit of give for the chest. An easy choice for any occasion and any outfit, including lagenlook layering styles. Product code: K0812

Hand wash or gentle dry clean.

All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.

Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.

To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.

All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.

Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.

Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.

For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
