Protecting the Drape & Finish

Cashmere-silk blends are delicate, so I always hand-wash in cold water with a drop of gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry on a towel. Never hang it—the weight of the water will stretch the shoulders and ruin the drape. I store it folded in a breathable cotton bag, not on a hanger, to keep its shape.

When packing for a trip, I roll the cardigan tightly and tuck it inside a silk scarf to prevent snags. For quick touch-ups, a handheld steamer is your best friend—never iron directly on the knit. With this care, the piece will stay soft and structured for years, becoming a staple you reach for every spring.

✦ Maya’s Final Capsule Checklist

  • Save this 4-page lookbook to your 📌 @facwear Pinterest board so all 4 reference angles are in your pocket.
  • Check the 👗 Maya’s Capsule Fit & Silhouette Spec Sheet on Page 1 before ordering or tailoring.
  • Pair with neutral leather slides or pointed loafers and a crisp oversized shirt for effortless polish.
