Silk Care Guide

Silk Care Guide

Songjin brocade is woven silk — the pattern is integrated into the fabric structure, making it far more durable than printed silk. With proper care, your NOOKMOOD bag will last for years.

Daily Care

  • Storage: Store in the dust bag provided, in a cool, dry place
  • Avoid prolonged sunlight: Direct sun can fade silk over time
  • Keep dry: If the bag gets wet, air-dry it flat — never use a hair dryer
  • Rest rotation: Give your bag a rest day between uses to maintain its shape

Cleaning

Dry cleaning is recommended — this is the safest method for woven silk brocade.

If you need to spot-clean a small area:

  1. Use a clean, white damp cloth
  2. Dab gently — never rub or scrub
  3. Use mild soap (pH-neutral) if needed
  4. Air-dry flat, away from direct heat

Do NOT:

  • Machine wash or tumble dry
  • Use bleach or harsh detergents
  • Wring or twist the fabric
  • Iron directly on the silk — use a pressing cloth if needed

Hardware Care

  • Wipe metal hardware with a soft, dry cloth after use
  • Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics
  • Store with silica gel packets to prevent tarnishing

Long-Term Storage

  • Stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper to maintain shape
  • Store in the dust bag in a breathable container
  • Avoid plastic bags — they trap moisture and can damage silk
  • Check periodically for any signs of moisture or pests
