Can you put silk in the washing machine?

Yes, for 27 momme artisan mulberry silk. Use a delicate cycle, cool or warm water (maximum 30°C), and pH-neutral detergent. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Lighter silk weights (under 22 momme) are more vulnerable to machine washing and may require hand washing.

What is momme weight in silk?

Momme is the traditional Japanese unit of silk fabric weight. One momme equals 4.34 grams per square metre. Higher momme means denser, heavier fabric with greater durability. The standard luxury range is 19 to 22 momme. Premium artisan silk sleepwear uses 25 to 30 momme. Tara Sartoria uses 27 momme throughout.

What makes 27 momme silk different from standard silk?

27 momme silk is 20 to 40% denser than the 19 to 22 momme standard used by most luxury brands. That density means the fabric holds its structure, resists clinging, and survives regular machine washing without degrading. Tara Sartoria silk is of Grade 6A equivalent quality, woven on traditional looms in Vietnam's historic silk villages.

What are French seams and why do they matter?

A French seam is a two-stage construction that completely encloses the raw fabric edge within the seam structure. Both stitch lines bear structural load, making French seams significantly more resistant to lateral stress than single-stitched seams. French seam construction takes two to three times longer per garment. Tara Sartoria uses French seams throughout every garment.

What detergent should I use for silk?

Use a pH-neutral, silk-safe detergent such as Woolite or The Laundress Delicate Wash. Avoid standard laundry detergents (alkaline, pH 9 to 11) and biological detergents (enzyme-based). Both cause protein fiber degradation over repeated wash cycles.

What sizes does Tara Sartoria offer?

Tara Sartoria makes sizes XS to 4XL. Every size receives the same 27 momme artisan mulberry silk and the same French seam construction. Luxury that does not fit is not luxury.

I love this peace and will definitely recommend it!

As soft as advertised and my wife absolutely loves it! Thank you so much!!

Nice fabric.. large cut

Lovely, not very structured.. but that is the stule

So luxurious

I feel like royalty when I wear this! It's so soft and luxurious, made with care and attention to detail without being garish or over the top. Understated style for days I feel like pampering myself a little extra! I usually wear a small or medium in women's clothes, but I feel like the sizing of this robe would fit anyone from an XS to an XL easily thanks to its tie closure. I've ordered other items from Tara Sartoria before and they seem to be a brand focused on quality and also ethical production, so I'm happy to support them - each item comes with a handwritten note explaining how the business model supports the women who craft their products. I'd certainly order again, for myself or as a gift!

LUXURIOUS, AND EXPENSIVE FEELING!!!

This silk robe does not disappoint. It is so beautifully made down to every detail. The French seams are impeccable. The robe comes with a handwritten note from the owner of the company as well as a tag with the name and a thank you from the person who made the robe. Also, information about the company and how it helps women. The robe has a tie inside and the outside so it can be closed securely as well as comes with a belt and has belt loops. The subtle print on the black silk it very beautiful. It comes in a matching silk pouch so it was pretty wrinkled when arrived but after hanging for a little bit a lot of the wrinkles came out. I love that it is machine washable too. This robe is a very high quality garment and with proper care I see it lasting for years to come. (Mrs. Valiant)

I feel luxurious

It's not as soft as I expected but I've never owned anything 100% mulberry silk before either. Regardless I feel like I belong on Bailey Sarian's youtube dark history couch with this on AKA I feel expensive, luxurious as one should.
