Every piece is carefully inspected to ensure top quality for your projects.

■ Care Instructions

Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the lustrous finish and intricate woven texture of Rinzu silk. If hand washing, gently wash in cold water with a neutral silk detergent and iron on low heat while slightly damp without steam.

Additionally, as this is an authentic vintage item, it may carry a subtle vintage scent from storage or traditional mothballs, which will fade with gentle airing in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
