Mulberry Silk Bed Linen by Gingerlily in White

Luxurious pure white bed linen crafted from the finest A-Grade long strand Mulberry silk, by Gingerlily. Made from 19 Momme silk in a gorgeous pure white colour that is smart and elegant, whilst at the same time classically timeless.

Supremely soft silk bed linen is widely recognised for its inherent beauty benefits; leading dermatologists have confirmed silk's anti-ageing benefits because it helps skin to retain its natural moisture, keeping it soft, supple and helping to reduce fine facial lines and wrinkles. Because silk contains the same naturally occurring proteins as hair, sleeping on luxuriously soft silk reduces friction and moisture loss, preventing hair from becoming dry and brittle, so you wake up with healthy, sleek and shiny hair. Silk is also hypoallergenic and breathable as it works to regulate your body's temperature so you sleep soundly all night long.

Style this luxurious white silk bedding alone, or mix and match with any colour from our wider plain dye silk bedding collection by Gingerlily to create your own unique look.

The pillowcases are Oxford style and both the pillowcases and duvet cover have a 7cm border, with buttons on the duvet cover edge.

The silk fibre is very strong while being incredibly soft but it is still a delicate fabric so must be treated with care. Silk, like wool and linen, requires a more delicate cleaning regime than cotton - one that requires gentle detergents and lower temperature wash cycles. Your Silk Bed Linen can be washed inside out on a cool wash cycle, set at no more than 30°C. (If silk is washed at a higher temperature than 30 °C, the natural properties of the silk will be significantly damaged, and as a result, the silk fabric will harden, become brittle and tear easily). We recommend washing all your silk items together, as opposed to mixing with other fabrics, as these materials can rub against the silk during the washing process and damage the delicate silk threads. In the event of your silk being stained or soiled, simply spot clean the mark before machine washing at 30°C.

Ideally silk should be line dried, however, if this isn't viable a simple tumble dry at a very low temperature will be fine. After caring for your silk, we advise that customers iron their silk on a medium warm setting to restore the mulberry silk's natural sheen, softness and suppleness. The warmth and steam from your iron will also help to preserve the silk's natural properties, as well as allowing the colour and natural shimmer of the fabric to resurface.
