What to know about Silk Laundry
Sandwashed silk is the house material
The label built its following on the 90s Slip Dress in 100% sandwashed silk, and still works largely in natural fibres — charmeuse camisoles, bias skirts, knitwear, silk suiting.
Founder-owned since 2015
Katie Kolodinski founded the Melbourne label in 2015 and remains creative director and owner, so the design direction has not passed through outside hands.
Muted palette, themed collections
Colour stays in muted and jewel tones, with collections built around travel, art, history and nature, plus Project 166 funding pollinator, coral and habitat conservation.
