OUR TOP 5 AW21 DEA KUDIBAL ITEMS

The days are turning shorter and colder. We turn to our cosy knitted jumpers, and padded coats, to keep us nice and warm. Our wardrobes gradually become filled with darker tones and autumnal colours, ready for the new season.

Today, we explore our favourite top 5 pieces from Dea Kudibal, in order to give you some inspiration.

STACY - TRELLIS BLUE - 15-0721

Our first runner up is the Stacy in Trellis Blue. A blouse with volume sleeves and teardrop opening at the front. The pattern is elegant, and one of which will make you stand out from the crowd. Stacy is the perfect blouse for an evening outfit. We recommend styling it with a trouser suit for a formal classy look or leather trousers if you are feeling more daring. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more casual look, we recommend tucking this shirt into a pair of nice flared Jeans paired with some chunky sunglasses and white trainers.

VERA - LAVENDER - 63-0721

The weather becoming colder only means one thing…. Layers, layers and more layers! Layering is an art form. It gives you the freedom to be able to be creative and completely transform any outfit. Some items are harder to layer than others. However, vests, such as the Vera vest, not only will keep you warm, due to it having been knitted, but is perfect to layer over any type of blouse, dress or long sleeve top.

Working with layers means you have the opportunity to incorporate a variety of different colours and patterns which compliment one another.

CARDI - LAVENDER - 59-0721
For days, where the weather is slightly colder, we exchange our vests for the knit cardigan with balloon sleeves, for that extra warmth. Cardigans are a must in every wardrobe. The buttons on the cardigan, give you more freedom in regards to how you style your outfit. Can experiment with having all the buttons done up, to having just one done up or none at all.

VIOLA DRESS - TRELLIS BLUE - 34-0721

No matter the season, Maxi dresses will always be a must in our wardrobes. During the winter months, we may choose to layer these with long knee-high boots and jumpers. The Viola Long dress has an adjustable drawstring collar. The dress also has cutlines and a lot of ruffles.

NATE - NAVY BLUE 11-0721

To finalize our top 5 items from AW21, we have the Nate Navy blue shirt with high cuffs, standing collar and hidden placket. Nothing says sophistication more than a stretch silk satin shirt like this one.

Dea Kudibal - Taking care of your premium silk

Designed and created by the designer herself, Dea Kudibal stretched her creative flair from a young age, being brought up by a family of artists. In 2003 the brand started by selling beautiful silk scarves and quickly developed into a beautiful clothing line. The signature stretch silk quality, combined with ethnic prints and handmade details makes this brand a must-have!

The stretch silk quality has become a signature for Dea Kudibal and while most silk is recommended to be dry clean only, Dea Kudibal’s luxury and high quality, along with the great durability has made the stretch silk super easily maintainable, you can simply machine wash all Dea Kudibal Silks! If you choose to machine wash then do so on a slow silk setting at a maximum of 30 degrees, always best to wash with cold water!

However, if you choose to hand wash the pure stretch silk do so at a maximum of 40 degrees to not damage the silk. When doing so always make sure there is no bleach in the detergents and that it is suitable for silk fabrics. It is very important to make sure that you turn your silk inside out and do not scrub or stretch the silk while wet, this can result in the silk stretching and losing its shape. Instead of scrubbing to get the stains out we say leave the garment in the water to soak for up to 30 minutes, this is plenty of time to release all dirt and oils from the fabric.

Wet silk is super fragile and will stretch if hung on a hanger so to dry the silk garments best to lay them flat and air dry. If you wish to speed up the drying process lay the silk garment flat in between 2 cotton towels this way they will help absorb the moisture from the silk.

Once dry, do not iron the silk, the heat will damage the soft fabric fibers. The high quality of the Dea Kudibal silk means you shouldn’t need to iron the garment however If there are some stubborn wrinkles you wish to remove then steaming slowly in a downwards motion will relax the silk fibers and even out any wrinkles, soon as that is done your Dea Kudibal silk garments will be looking fresh and new ready!
