Conclusion: Color fastness of silk
Silk, being a protein fiber, is more sensitive to high temperatures and alkaline environments than cotton. Therefore, the color fastness of silk is an important quality indicator, directly dependent on the quality of the raw material and the dyeing process.
- Our position: High-quality silk made from 6A grade Mulberry silk and dyed using natural pigments (from plants, insects, and minerals). The dyes have excellent color fastness under normal washing conditions (warm water, gentle detergent).
- Our note: Dark and very bright silk colors (e.g. navy, black, bright red) tend to release pigment during the first wash. However, this is a normal process for protein-dyed fabrics and not a sign of fading. The main thing is to care for them correctly: avoid direct sunlight and use non-alkaline detergents to ensure that the color remains bright throughout its lifespan.
Ideal: Silk dyed with natural dyes is the most environmentally friendly option.
Practical: If you choose industrially dyed silk, Acid or Reactive dyes ensure durability and brightness when care instructions are followed. It is important that the product meets safe dyeing standards (e.g. is hypoallergenic).
That’s why all our silk products are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
