There seems to be a lot of chatter that buying the twill version and hand washing it would result in the look of the washed silks.
I completely disagree that this is the case. I agree with your assessment
@Langsam, the wash silk is a lovely more muted rendition of the same colors. I have been collecting and caring for my silks for many years. Hand washing my twills even ten times would not result in the same feel of the washed silk imo. And for me, for this specific design, I prefer the muted more natural organic colors and printing rather than the bright pops. Just my two cents and to each their own.
The vintage silks are just different in quality and and feel. I for one, appreciate a washed silk in my collection and can’t wait to receive mine.
Love your choice!
