About our fabrics
Should you have any other questions about the specific care of any of our pieces and you don't find the information below, please contact [email protected].
Silk
Réalisation makes the anytime, anywhere, throw-it-in-your-bag, go-to silk pieces that become wardrobe essentials. Our printed dresses, skirts and tops are made from 100% silk. Lightweight, luxurious, versatile - this is our speciality. One of the great bonuses of silk is that it is naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, meaning that you can get more wear out of it before it has to be cleaned. Silk is a natural fibre and made to last, but is delicate and should be cared for in a specific way:
Your Réal silk pieces should be dry cleaned
A small area can be spot cleaned with cold water
Hang them up and steam or cool iron from the inside of the fabric to remove any creases
Please don’t ever put them in the machine!
Silk as a fabric dates back to over 5000 years ago in China. We partner with China based factories to produce our pieces as they are specialists in this field.
Cotton
Our beloved Réal Merch pieces - tees, totes, socks, boxers, and sweats - are all made from high quality 100% cotton, or a high percentage natural cotton mix. Cotton is breathable, soft and durable.
Your Réal Merch pieces should be machine washed cold
Dry flat and re-shape whilst damp
Only cool iron on the reverse side
Never tumble dry
Velvet and Velvet Devoré
Our silk-blend velvet and velvet devoré pieces, with added viscose for extra lustre, should be cared for with the same love that you give your silk pieces.
Dry clean only
Steam from the inside of the fabric to remove creases or use a very low heat for ironing on the reverse side only to avoid damage
