Linen, you either love it or loathe it. It's the creases. Some just can’t stand the creases. I think the creases add to its personality. Sometimes to help combat creases it is combined with other fibres like rayon, cotton, wool and silk. Linen is one of the oldest textiles dating back nearly 5,000 years.

Many are put off purchasing silk garments because they believe they are difficult to care for. Some silks are washable, with others dry cleaning is recommended.

Test your garment for colourfastness before washing. Dab an inconspicuous area, like an inside seam with a damp clean cloth or Q tip. If the colour bleeds, the garment will have to be dry cleaned. Always ask your dry cleaner if they clean silk.
