Gentle Aura | Modal Silk

When designing, we try to capture the essence of beauty and inspiration. Drawing inspiration from various sources such as events, travels, and everyday life. We look for moments that deeply resonate with us. Whether it's an art exhibit that leaves a lasting impression or the breathtaking simplicity of nature, these influences shape our creative vision.

We believe in collaborations and nurturing artistic expression. Working closely with talented artists, we try to match our shared inspirations with what will make captivating scarf designs. We carefully select high-quality fabrics and explore various techniques to bring ours and our collaborating artist visions to life. 

The result is a collection of scarves that embody the spirit of our inspirations and showcase the artistry behind Mila+Mate.

Modal Silk is a luxurious fiber and great for scarves. It is a lightweight, silky smooth, soft material that absorbs color and gives off a slight shimmer. The combination of Modal- a cellulose derived from the Birch tree and Silk- a natural protein fiber obtained from the larvae cocoons of the mulberry silkworm, spun tightly together gives you a very smooth, strong thread.

These properties also help keep you cool and can be used year-round.

Our scarves, if properly cared for, are very durable. The characteristics of each of the materials used, gives it their durability. To maintain its shape, luster and overall material, we recommend Dry Clean Only.

For airing out after use, drape your scarf on a hanger and let it hang in your bathroom while you are taking a shower. The steam created will help take away most odors, like that of food and smoke and to an extent perfumes.

Additionally, store your scarves in a clean, dry place to prevent damage from moisture or pests.

Every person develops their own way on 'how to wear it', your scarf.

Beside draping them over your shoulders or wrapping them around your neck, you can look at short videos and photos where we show you unique and fun ways to wear them.

Take a look at our Instagram account; @milaandmate for lots of ideas.

The package is mailed in a recyclable black pouch. Most people do not keep the original packaging for most items. We try to be conscious of the effect on the environment.

The actual scarf has a tag attached to it.

We strongly recommend Dry Clean Only to maintain its shape and luster.

Proper care is essential to prolonging a scarf's lifespan. Always follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, as different materials may require specific cleaning methods.

Should you feel confident enough to hand wash your Mila+Mate product; it should be in cold water with a gentle detergent. You would need to pat down the excess water and dry flat wrapped in a towel. Once dry, if it is any of our materials apart from our crinkle silk, we would recommend using a light iron, dial placed at the correct level for the material in question or a steamer to get rid of the wrinkles.

* Do not use iron on crinkle silk fabric.

But we STRONGLY recommend Dry Clean Only.
