Deadstock Silk Capsule
FAQ
Deadstock silk refers to surplus silk fabric left over from prior production runs or canceled orders at textile mills. These are high-quality materials that were never defective; they went unclaimed. Using deadstock silk means each Capsule style is produced in a limited run defined by the available yardage.
Deadstock silk carries a meaningful sustainability advantage because no new raw materials are produced to create it. The silk already exists; the Capsule simply redirects it from waste streams into finished garments. That said, deadstock is one part of a broader sustainability picture, and Amanda Uprichard encourages thoughtful purchasing as part of the overall approach to a curated wardrobe.
Because each style is produced from a fixed quantity of deadstock fabric, most Capsule pieces cannot be restocked in the same fabric once they sell out. Popular new styles may join the collection, while sold-out designs may reappear when they are back in stock. Checking the collection page regularly is the most reliable way to secure new additions.
Hand-washing in cold water with a mild detergent is the safest approach for most silk pieces. If machine washing is allowed per the care label, use a mesh laundry bag on the delicate cycle. Always check the individual garment's care label first, and air-dry it away from direct sunlight.
Yes. The same fabric creates a matching-set effect (without requiring an exact two-piece purchase). Check product descriptions for fabric and colorway details to confirm compatibility before styling.
