Blouses

Quince Washable Silk is 100% mulberry silk treated and finished so it can be machine washed on a delicates cycle in a mesh bag with cold water and a silk-safe detergent — no dry cleaning required for routine care. Most silk competitors require dry cleaning, which adds significant lifetime cost. The Washable Silk treatment preserves the smooth hand-feel and luster while making real-life laundering practical.

Momme (mm) is the standard unit for silk weight — higher momme means denser, more durable silk. 16-19 momme is lightweight (good for camisoles, scarves); 22-25 momme is mid-weight (best for blouses, dresses, sheets); 25+ momme is heavyweight (for pieces meant to last decades). Quince Washable Silk runs 22 momme — the sweet spot for durability while keeping the natural silk drape.

Button-down silk blouses (classic workwear silhouette with collar and buttons), tie-neck blouses (soft bow at the neck for a feminine detail), and pull-on blouses without front closure (cleanest silhouette, no button gap). Each style comes in several colors and prints. The button-down and pull-on styles work hardest for daily office rotation; tie-neck styles read more dressy.

Yes — silk wrinkles like any natural fiber. Hang silk blouses on padded hangers after wearing to let creases drop overnight. For travel or quick refresh, a handheld steamer held a few inches away from the back side of the fabric clears wrinkles fast (don't iron silk directly on high heat). Some shoppers find silk reads less wrinkled than linen in person — the natural sheen masks creases.

Elevated workwear refers to pieces that read more polished than t-shirts or casual blouses without crossing into formal evening wear — appropriate for client-facing meetings, presentations, and business-casual offices. Quince Washable Silk blouses, particularly the tie-neck and button-down styles, are designed for this register. Pair with tailored pants, midi skirts, or jeans-and-blazer combinations.

For Washable Silk: machine wash cold on delicates in a mesh bag, with a silk-safe detergent. Skip fabric softener and bleach. Hang to dry or lay flat — never tumble dry on heat (which can shrink and damage silk). For wrinkles, use a low-heat iron from the back side or a handheld steamer held a few inches away. Avoid direct sunlight for long storage (UV fades silk).
