Le plaid en soie, cocon indispensable de l’hiver

Silk plaid is an essential accessory for keeping you warm all winter long.

Find out why you should choose this plaid over plaids made from other fabrics. We'll also give you all the tips you need to make the most of it every day, and curl up in a real silk cocoon.

Why choose a silk throw?

Silk is an exceptional material. It offers many benefits that other fabrics can't match.

Combined together, plaid and silk form the perfect duo for exceptional comfort.

Here are the 5 benefits of this natural fiber that make your plaid second to none.

The 5 benefits of silk

  1. Exceptional insulation: Silk offers exceptional insulating properties. It creates an effective thermal barrier against winter cold. It wraps you in comforting warmth.
  2. Lightweight and soft: Unlike other fabrics, silk is particularly light. So there's no need to struggle with a heavy, bulky plaid, when silk's finesse and lightness keep you ideally warm. Its softness is unique, and its smoothness offers our skin a comforting touch.
  3. Temperature regulation: Silk has the unique ability to regulate body temperature by absorbing and wicking away moisture. As a result, the plaid adapts to the ambient temperature. So you stay warm all winter long.
  4. Durability and elegance: Silk is naturally resistant, making it a timeless fabric. It also offers elegance as the days go by. It will find its place as the centerpiece of your cocoon.
  5. Health benefits: Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial. This fabric is therefore ideal for anyone suffering from asthma or respiratory or skin allergies.

FAQ

What is a silk throw and what are its advantages?
A silk throw combines a soft, smooth cover with a light, insulating filling. Silk offers pleasant warmth without heaviness, naturally regulates humidity and temperature, and limits irritation thanks to its hypoallergenic properties. Its elegant drape and long life make it ideal for everyday use.
How durable and resistant is silk?
Yes. Silk is made up of long, strong fibers that stand up well to wear, especially when properly made and topstitched. With proper care, it retains its qualities (shine, hold, softness) and ages very well, making it a durable choice for a high-end plaid.
How do I care for a silk throw?
Preferably wash by hand or on a delicate cycle (cold water/30°C) with a special silk detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and avoid heavy spinning. Dry flat, out of direct sunlight; do not tumble dry. Air regularly and, if necessary, gently steam without pressing.
What are the alternatives to silk plaid, and what are their characteristics?
Wool (or cashmere) provides enveloping warmth and breathability; cotton is easy-care and versatile; synthetic fibers often offer a low price and a fluffy feel, but less thermoregulation and skin benefits. Silk combines lightness, softness and natural regulation, with timeless elegance.
What's the right occasion to use a silk throw?
For everyday use: reading, watching a film, teleworking, for light but warm comfort. Decoration: placed as a throw on a bed or sofa to enhance the room. On the move: its slimness means you can take it with you on a trip, train or plane, to recreate a cocoon wherever you are.
