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. A change of mind return carries a $29 handling charge, you cover the return postage, and the original delivery charge is not refunded. Refunds are processed 24 to 48 hours after we receive the item.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you under the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law, return postage included. Those guarantees cannot be excluded and nothing on this page limits them; where the failure is major the choice between a refund, a replacement and a repair is yours.
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.

About this product
A sleep cap in 22 momme mulberry silk.
Silk on both faces rather than a silk outer over a lining. One size with an elasticated band, in champagne gold.
A sleep cap in 100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, the same fabric as the pillowcases on this site.
Silk on both faces rather than a silk outer over a cheaper lining, which is the thing worth checking on any bonnet.
One size with an elasticated band, in champagne gold. That is the only colour this piece comes in.
Silk holds water, so it will feel damp for longer than cotton would. Most people put one on once hair is dry or nearly dry.
This is a sleep cap in 100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, cut with silk on both faces rather than a silk outer over a cheaper lining.
What silk does here is the same thing it does on a pillowcase: it is smoother than cotton, so there is less drag where the fabric meets hair. That is the mechanism and it is the whole of it.
It is one size with an elasticated band. Whether anything stays on all night depends on how much you move, and we would rather say that than promise otherwise.
Silk holds water, so a bonnet put on over wet hair will feel damp for a long time. That is a property of the fibre rather than a fault.
Wash it cold, with no enzymes and no bleach, and keep it out of the dryer. A mesh bag makes a machine cycle safe.
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.
One size, with an elasticated band. It is made to fit most adult heads.
What is it made of?
100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, the same fabric as the pillowcases.
What colour is it?
Champagne gold. It is the only colour this piece comes in.
Is the inside silk too?
Yes, silk on both faces rather than a silk outer over a lining.
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.
Will it stay on overnight?
The band is elasticated. How well anything stays on overnight depends on how much you move, so we would rather not promise.
Can I wear it with wet hair?
Silk holds water, so it will feel damp for longer than cotton would. Most people put it on once hair is dry or nearly dry.
Is it the same silk as the pillowcases?
Yes, 22 momme mulberry, Grade 6A.
Can I add a name to it?
The monogramming line is for pillowcases only.
Does it come in other colours?
Not at the moment. Champagne gold is the only one.
Can I machine wash it?
On a cold gentle cycle in a mesh bag, yes.
How long will it last?
That depends on how it is washed. Cold water, no enzymes and no dryer is what makes the difference.
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.
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.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. There is a wholesale page with the detail and a form to start the conversation.
The complete guide
A silk sleep bonnet, described plainly
3 min readFlair Silk Company
What it is
A sleep cap in 100 per cent mulberry silk at 22 momme, silk on both faces rather
than a silk outer over a lining, with an elasticated band. One size, champagne
gold, and that is the only colour it comes in.
What silk does here
The same thing it does on a pillowcase: it is smoother than cotton, so there is
less drag where the fabric meets hair. That is the mechanism and it is the whole
of it.
Wet hair
Silk holds water and will feel damp for longer than cotton would. Most people
put a bonnet on once hair is dry or nearly dry, and it is worth knowing that
before the first night rather than after it.
Staying on
The band is elasticated. Whether anything stays on all night depends on how much
you move, and we would rather say that than promise otherwise.
Washing it
Cold water at 30 degrees or below, no enzymes, no bleach, no dryer, dried out of
direct sun. A mesh bag makes a machine cycle safe.
