Caring for Silk and Velvet
Steam, never iron. Hang in cotton, never plastic. The atelier’s rules for keeping evening cloth beautiful for decades.
A couture gown is meant to be worn for decades. A little care keeps it that way.
Velvet
Never press velvet flat. Steam it from the inside, hanging, and let the pile recover on its own. Store it on a padded hanger with space around it.
Silk
Silk dislikes sunlight and perfume. Dress first, then scent. Keep silk in a breathable cotton bag, never plastic, and let it rest a day between wears.
Return it to us
Every Nocturne piece may be returned to the atelier for cleaning, pressing and small repairs. Your gown will come back in fresh tissue, ready for its next evening.
