You have 15 days from purchase to change your mind on an unused item in its original packaging, with proof of purchase. That is our own policy rather than a statutory right, because Australian law gives no cooling-off period for an online purchase.

About this product
One pair of newborn mittens, in 22 momme mulberry silk.
Two mittens, the same silk as the pillowcases, with an elasticated cuff. Blue or pink at one price.
Two mittens, cut from 100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, the same fabric as the pillowcases on this site.
Newborn size with an elasticated cuff. Babies vary and some work them off, which is worth knowing before rather than after.
There are no coatings, no fastenings and no small parts. As with anything a baby wears, check the fit and supervise use.
Blue or pink. Both are the same mitten at the same price.
These are newborn scratch mittens cut from the same 22 momme mulberry silk as the pillowcases on this site. One pair per order line, which is two mittens.
Silk is smoother than cotton, so the fabric moves against skin with less drag. That is a property of the weave and it is the whole of what we will say about it.
There are no coatings, no fastenings and no small parts on them. They are plain silk with an elasticated cuff.
Fit is the thing to check yourself. Newborn hands vary and a size chart does not settle it, so look at them on before assuming they will stay put.
Wash them cold with no enzymes and no bleach, and keep them out of the dryer. A mesh bag makes a machine cycle safe on a piece this small.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. You have 15 days from purchase on any unused item in its original packaging. That is our own policy rather than a statutory right, because Australian law gives no cooling-off period for an online purchase, and we would rather say so than imply a right you do not have. A change of mind return carries a $29 handling charge and you cover the return postage.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law give you a repair, a replacement or your money back, and where the failure is major the choice is yours rather than ours. We pay the return postage and nothing on this page limits any of it. Read the detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, the same fabric as the pillowcases.
What size are they?
Newborn size. They are made for the first weeks rather than to grow into.
Are they safe for a newborn?
They are plain mulberry silk with no coatings, no fastenings and no small parts. As with anything a baby wears, check the fit and supervise use.
Why silk rather than cotton?
Silk is smoother than cotton, so the fabric moves against skin with less drag. That is a property of the weave and it is all we claim for it.
How do I wash them?
Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
Do they come in a gift box?
They ship in their own packaging. The monogramming line is for pillowcases rather than mittens.
What colours are there?
Blue and pink. Both are the same mitten at the same price.
Will they stay on?
They have an elasticated cuff. Newborn hands vary, so some babies work them off and some do not.
Can I buy more than one pair?
Yes, add the quantity you want at the buy box.
Are they machine washable?
On a cold gentle cycle in a mesh bag, yes. Hand washing is gentler on a piece this small.
Do you sell a matching pillowcase?
The pillowcases are the same 22 momme mulberry silk, in eleven colours.
How much is delivery?
Free across Australia on orders of $90 or more. Below that it is $27.50. Allow 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on this site includes GST, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay.
How do I wash it?
Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
Can I put it in the dryer?
No.
Can I iron it?
On the lowest setting, and only if you want to. Silk creases less than cotton and most of it drops out overnight.
What detergent should I use?
A liquid with no enzymes and no bleach. Enzyme detergents are designed to break down protein, and silk is a protein fibre.
Will it pill?
Long-fibre mulberry silk resists pilling better than short-staple fabrics, and a gentle wash keeps it that way.
Will the colour fade?
Dry it out of direct sun and it holds its colour. Sunlight is what fades silk, not washing.
Does it shrink?
Not in cold water on a gentle cycle. Heat is what shrinks silk, so the dryer is the thing to avoid.
Do you deliver outside Australia?
This store delivers within Australia. Flair Silk has stores in other countries and the footer links to them.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card payment through Stripe, and PayPal. Those are the two methods at checkout.
How do I track my order?
A tracking number is emailed as soon as the parcel ships. There is a Track Your Parcel page in the Company menu.
Can I return it?
Within 15 days, unused and in its original packaging. The refunds and returns page sets out the detail, and the consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law apply on top of it.
Does this do anything for my skin or hair?
We describe the fabric, not an outcome. Silk is smoother than cotton, so hair and skin slide across it rather than dragging. We make no medical, dermatological or anti-ageing claim, and where you see one made about silk elsewhere it is usually not evidenced.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Email us as soon as you can. Once a parcel has been picked and labelled it is usually on its way, so the sooner you write the more we can do.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. This is an online store with no shop floor, which is part of why the prices are what they are.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. A receipt is emailed after payment, along with an order confirmation.
The complete guide
Silk mittens for a newborn: what they are and what to check
3 min readFlair Silk Company
What is in the pair
Two mittens, cut from 100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, the same fabric as
the pillowcases on this site. There are no coatings, no fastenings and no small
parts.
Why silk rather than cotton
Silk is smoother than cotton, so the fabric moves against skin with less drag.
That is a property of the weave. We do not make any claim beyond it, and you
should treat claims that go further with the scepticism they have earned.
Fit
Newborn size, with an elasticated cuff. Babies vary and some work them off. It
is worth checking the fit yourself rather than assuming a size chart settles it.
Supervision
As with anything a baby wears, check the fit and supervise use. That is ordinary
advice and it applies here as it applies to everything else in the cot.
Washing them
Cold water, no enzymes, no bleach, no dryer. A mesh bag makes a machine cycle
safe on a piece this small, though hand washing is gentler.
Tell us what you want it to do and how you do laundry, and we will tell you whether the silk or the satin is the better spend. Free delivery across Australia on orders over $90.
