Is this real silk or silk-feel?

Real silk. 100% Vietnamese mulberry silk, crepe satin weave, 19 momme. The fabric content is on the garment label. To verify at home: pull a single thread from an inside seam and hold it to a flame. Silk burns slowly, smells like singed hair, and leaves crushable ash. Polyester melts and leaves a hard plastic bead.

What does 19 momme mean?

Momme is the density measure for silk — how much silk is woven into a square metre. 19 momme is ideal for sleepwear: heavy enough to drape beautifully and last, light enough to sleep comfortably in. Under 12 momme is delicate and prone to snagging. Over 25 starts to feel formal rather than wearable.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, or machine wash on delicate in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry — never wring, never tumble dry. Iron on the lowest silk setting with a cloth between the iron and the fabric if needed.

What size should I order?

Our silk slips run true to size. The straps are adjustable. If you're between sizes, size up — silk drapes better with a little ease.

Does silk really make a difference for sleep?

Yes. Silk doesn't strip moisture from your skin overnight the way cotton does. It creates almost no friction against your hair, which reduces breakage and frizz. And unlike polyester, it breathes — regulating your temperature instead of trapping heat against your skin.

Crepe satin combines the drape and sheen of satin with a slightly more textured surface than standard charmeuse. The result looks refined rather than shiny — more wearable, less costume-y. It's the weave used across all & moon silk slips.

Your hair, protected. Regardless of how you sleep.

A silk bonnet is more consistent than a pillowcase alone because it keeps your hair protected no matter which way you move during the night. It's particularly effective for protecting blowouts (a bonnet can extend a blowout by several days), braids and protective styles, and natural hair that dries out easily overnight.

The & moon bonnet is 100% mulberry silk — the same material as our pillowcases. One size fits most.

FAQ — Silk Hair Bonnet

Is a bonnet better than a silk pillowcase? They serve slightly different purposes. A pillowcase protects hair when you're lying on it. A bonnet protects hair regardless of sleep position. If you move a lot during sleep, or have longer hair or protective styles, a bonnet provides more consistent protection. Many people use both.

Does the bonnet stay on through the night? Yes — the elasticated edge is designed to hold through movement without being tight enough to leave a mark. Most people find it stays on reliably.
