Frequently Asked Questions
Does it actually block the light?
It blocks most of it. Silk is opaque and the mask is shaped to sit over the eye sockets, but it is a soft mask rather than a moulded blackout one, so a little light can reach in at the bridge of the nose. If you need total darkness, a contoured mask does that better.
Is it real silk?
Yes, mulberry silk on both faces rather than a silk front with a synthetic back.
Is there padding?
No. It is a flat silk mask, which is why it packs down to nothing and why it does not press on your eyes.
Will it stay on all night?
Usually. The strap is elasticated and the mask is light enough that it does not shift much, though anyone who moves a lot in their sleep may find it out of place by morning.
Is the strap adjustable?
It is elasticated rather than adjustable with a buckle. It suits most adult head sizes.
Will it leave a mark?
Less than a padded or strapped mask, because there is very little pressure. A tight elastic on any mask can mark skin overnight; this one is not tight.
Can I wear it with eyelash extensions?
A flat mask sits closer to the lashes than a contoured one, so if you have extensions or lash treatments you may prefer a moulded mask that vaults over them.
Does it help you sleep?
Darkness helps most people sleep, and this makes it darker. We are not going to make a claim beyond that: it is a piece of fabric, not a sleep treatment.
Is it good for travel?
It is one of the better uses for it. It weighs almost nothing, folds flat, and does not need looking after in a bag.
Can I wash it?
Yes. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach. Air dry rather than tumble drying, to protect the elastic.
How often should I wash it?
More often than you would think. It sits against your face all night and collects whatever is on your skin, so weekly is sensible if you use night creams.
Will makeup stain it?
Mascara and eye makeup can mark silk. Take makeup off before wearing it, and wash marks out cold and promptly rather than letting them set.
What colour is it?
It ships in our standard colourway. Colour is not a selectable option on this product.
Does it get hot?
No. Silk does not hold heat the way a padded synthetic mask does, which is the main reason people move to one.
Is it good for dry eyes?
We make no medical claims for it. If you have a diagnosed eye condition, that is a question for your optician rather than a shop.
Can children use it?
It is sized for adults. We do not sell a children's version.
How does it compare to a cheap satin one?
Same idea, different fibre. Satin masks are polyester, cheaper, and warmer against the skin. This is mulberry silk.
Is it two-sided?
Yes, silk on both faces.
Will the elastic stretch out?
Eventually, as elastic does. Cold washing and air drying is what slows it down.
Can I get it embroidered?
Embroidery is offered as a separate add-on product, though it suits flat items like pillowcases better than a small curved one.
Is it a good gift?
It is the small item we send out most often as one, usually paired with the hair bonnet or a pillowcase.
Does it come in a box?
It ships in our standard packaging.
How much is delivery?
EUR 25 across Europe, free over EUR 75. On its own this will not reach the threshold.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 5 to 7 days across Europe once your order is on its way.
Can I return it?
Yes, 14 days from delivery under EU consumer law, provided it is unused and in resaleable condition.
Can I return it if I have worn it?
A worn eye mask is not resaleable, so change-of-mind returns need it unused. A fault or transit damage is separate and we will replace it.
How long does it last?
Years, in terms of the silk. The elastic is the part that ages.
Does it smell of anything?
No. It arrives with no finish or fragrance.
Is it heavy enough to feel like a weighted mask?
No, and it is not meant to be. This is a light flat mask. Weighted masks are a different product entirely.
Do you sell them in bulk?
Yes. There is a wholesale page, and it is worth contacting us directly for quantities.

A flat mask, and why that matters
This is an unpadded silk mask. There is no foam, no contouring and no weight
to it, which means there is effectively no pressure on your eyes and nothing to
warm up against your face over a night. It also folds to nothing, which is why
it ends up in a lot of hand luggage.
How much light it blocks
Most of it, not all of it. Silk is opaque and the mask covers the eye sockets
properly, but a soft flat mask follows the shape of your face rather than
sealing against it, so a little light can find its way in at the bridge of the
nose. If you need genuine blackout, a moulded contoured mask does that better
and we would rather say so than have you send this one back.
The lash question
Because it is flat, it sits close to the lashes. If you have extensions or
have had a lash treatment, a contoured mask that vaults over them is the better
choice. That is the single most common reason this mask is not right for
someone.
Washing it
Cold, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, and air dry to protect the
elastic. Wash it more often than you might expect: it sits against your face all
night and collects whatever is on your skin. Take eye makeup off before wearing
it, because mascara marks silk and sets if you leave it.
