The Black Matter - Silk Ascot

Caring for your silk

Treated well, fine silk only gets better with time. A few simple habits will keep your Monzoro pocket squares, scarves and ascots looking their best for years.

Cleaning

• Dry cleaning is safest. For pressed silk and anything with rich colour or print, professional dry cleaning is the gentlest option.
• Hand-wash with care. If you prefer, hand-wash separately in cool water with a little mild detergent. Don't soak, don't scrub, and never wring — gently press the water out instead.
• Avoid everyday hazards. Keep silk away from perfume, aftershave, alcohol and water spotting, which can mark the fibres.

Drying & pressing

• Lay flat or hang to dry, away from direct sunlight and radiators.
• Iron on a low / silk setting while slightly damp, with a cloth barrier between the iron and the silk.

Storing & travelling

• Store flat or loosely rolled rather than tightly folded, so creases don't set.
• For travel, roll your pocket square or scarf and keep it in a soft pouch or its Monzoro packaging.

Looking after a wedding or event piece? Air it out and store it flat as soon as you're home, and it'll be ready for the next occasion.

We ship worldwide with full tracking, so wherever you are, your order is followed every step of the way. Every Monzoro piece arrives in branded packaging as standard — pocket squares in a branded envelope, scarves and ascots in their own box — ready to give or to keep.

Dispatch & Tracking

Orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days. The moment your parcel leaves us, you'll receive a tracking link by email so you can follow it all the way to your door.

Delivery Times & Costs

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your destination and the weight of your order. The figures below give you a clear guide to what to expect.

DHL Express is available at checkout to the US, Canada and many other countries when you'd like your order to arrive sooner. Please note that delivery times are estimates from the date of dispatch, not guarantees.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

US orders are sent Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means there are no customs charges to settle on arrival — the price you see is the price you pay. For other destinations outside the UK (including the EU post-Brexit), orders may be subject to local import duties, VAT or taxes set by your customs authority and payable on delivery. These charges are determined by your local authority and are the customer's responsibility.

Returns & Exchanges

We offer 30-day returns from the date of delivery, and this is in addition to your statutory rights. To be eligible, items must be unworn, unwashed and in their original condition, with all tags attached and returned in their original packaging. If an item arrives faulty or we've sent the wrong one, we'll cover the return postage and refund you in full. For all other returns, return postage is the customer's responsibility.

How to Start a Return

Email hello@monzoro.com with your order number and the reason for your return. We'll reply within one business day with the return address and full instructions. We don't publish the return address publicly, so that every return can be logged and tracked correctly on its way back to us.

Refunds

Once your return reaches us and passes inspection, your refund is issued to the original payment method within 5–7 working days. We'll send you an email to confirm the moment it's done.

Non-Returnable Items

For reasons of hygiene and fairness, we're unable to accept items that have been worn, washed, altered or damaged after delivery, along with any final-sale or personalised items.
