All items I ordered went on a HUGE sale a couple days after my purchase and the company wouldn’t offer a price adjustment. Beyond dissappointed. Customer service basically said I was SOL. Sadly, they lost a loyal customer.

Within two days of play these silks had snags and threads were coming out of the hems. I bought them on sale and still think they were overprice for the quality I received. Would not recommend and will not repurchase.

Hi Katherine, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the silks. We appreciate your input and will follow up with you to see if there is any resolution we can offer you!

Amazing! My one-year-old played with these from the box. She loved seeing me play with them. Got six primary colors. They're big, light as a feather, unlimited play potential. Washed the red one and it washed well.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review, Susan! We're so happy to hear your one-year-old is enjoying the set of playsilks so far. So much more imaginative play to be had with her!

I love the silks! The grands love them too! Imagination released for hours!

We love hearing how much your grands are loving the Playsilks, and that they can enjoy hours upon hours with their imaginations!

Just the slightest bit lighter in-person than what my screen presents it as, and it is absolutely perfect! Definitely lives up to the name 'sky blue'.

We are so happy to hear that the product lives up to it's name, and that you are enjoying your product!

Jennifer

Another lovely silk!! As possible - my screen presented the silk with a little bit more of a blue undertone (to my eye) than what I feel it's got in person. Still love it!

So sorry to hear that the Playsilk wasn't exactly what you were expecting, but happy to hear you still love it!

J
Jennifer

This is a lovely silk, but it comes across a little bit more yellow than I anticipated. Still happy to have it!

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry it wasn't the exact color of yellow you thought you were getting, but glad you are still happy to have it in your collection.

Jennifer

Absolutely lovely, great color 👌🏼

Beautiful silks💓

I bought 1 mini silks for my son to play with and a normal one in red violet for myself. I can imagine wearing it around my waist, it makes a boring outfit a lot more interesting.
The colour is beautiful!

What a beautiful and creative way to use the Playsilks! Love that not only does it help with imaginative play, but it also adds to an outfit! Thank you so much for sharing!

Love Sara’s Silks

I spend my own money to use them in my library storytime program because there is really nothing else comparable. After over 10 years I had to replace a few and add more colors!

We are so glad the silks add to your storytime, Jessica!
