Mulberry Silk Bed Linen by Gingerlily in Ivory

Luxurious ivory silk bed linen crafted from the finest A-Grade long strand Mulberry silk, by Gingerlily. Made from 19 Momme ivory silk in a gorgeous off-white colour that is elegant, timeless and easily adaptable to any interior style.

Stylish, sumptuous, sophisticated and supremely soft, silk bed linen is not only elegant it also has widely recognised and recommended beauty benefits too. Leading dermatologists have confirmed silk's anti-ageing benefits because it helps skin to retain its natural moisture, keeping it soft, supple and helping to reduce fine facial lines and wrinkles.

Because silk contains the same naturally occurring proteins as hair, sleeping on luxuriously soft silk reduces friction and moisture loss, preventing hair from becoming dry and brittle, so you wake up with healthy, sleek and shiny hair. Silk is also hypoallergenic and breathable as it works to regulate your body's temperature so you sleep soundly all night long.

Style this luxury ivory silk bedding alone, or mix and match with any colour from our wider plain dye silk bedding collection to create your own unique look.

The pillowcases are Oxford style and both the pillowcases and duvet cover have a 7cm border, with buttons on the duvet cover edge.

Caring for your Silk Bed Linen: your Silk Bed Linen can be washed inside out on a cool wash cycle, set at no more than 30°C. If silk is washed at a higher temperature than 30°C, the natural properties of the silk will be significantly damaged, and as a result, the silk fabric will harden, become brittle and tear easily. We recommend washing all your silk items together, as opposed to mixing with other fabrics, as these materials can rub against the silk during the washing process and damage the delicate silk threads. Never boil or soak your silk, in the event of your silk being stained or soiled, simply spot clean the mark before machine washing at 30°C.

Ideally silk should be line dried, however, if this isn't viable a simple tumble dry at a very low temperature will be fine. After caring for your silk, we advise that customers iron their silk on a warm setting to restore the mulberry silk's natural sheen, softness and suppleness. The warmth and steam from your iron will also help to preserve the silk's natural properties, as well as allowing the colour and natural shimmer of the fabric to resurface.

All of our French style luxury bed linen is made to fit UK size beds, duvets and pillows.
