If I wash this pleated scarf, will the wrinkles come out?
Because the wrinkles are part of the scarf's design, it is hard to tell whether its original look will remain once it is washed or folded away.
Because the wrinkles are heat-set with intense heat, washing and storage instructions have not been confirmed, and there is only a recommendation to spread it lightly by hand when wearing it.
The "wrinkle" in the product name refers to pleats or creases. The wrinkles on the SILK COTTON WRINKLE SCARF_WATER are not marks formed by keeping it folded, but a shape deliberately created by applying intense heat[1]. That is why the brand does not tell you to iron it flat, but rather recommends spreading it out lightly by hand the moment you tie it to create the mood you want[2].
However, official guidance on how to wash and store this scarf has not yet been confirmed. Setting out general standards, it is as follows: Heat-set wrinkles tend to be vulnerable to water, heat, and weight, so the initial set shape can loosen after hand-washing or machine-washing, and fabrics blended with silk are often recommended for dry cleaning because washing in water can cause shrinkage or changes in luster. Since ironing and steaming act to flatten out wrinkles, it is safer to avoid them, and when storing, rolling it loosely or hanging it disturbs the shape less than folding it with sharp creases and pressing it down. However, it has not been confirmed whether this information applies directly to this scarf, so in practice it is best to check the care label attached to the product first.
hmmm, rather than viewing the wrinkles as a state that must never become disordered, if you see them as an element you reshape by hand each time, the character of this scarf shifts from an item that is difficult to care for to one that looks slightly different every day.
The official washing and storage methods as well as the exact material blend ratio for this product have not yet been confirmed.
