GENERAL CARE TIPS
Natural garments don’t need frequent washing. Instead, air them often, wash them sparingly, and always treat them as precious.
Air out between wears — it refreshes better than a wash.
Hand wash in cold water with gentle detergent.
Never tumble dry — natural fibres prefer to breathe.
Dry flat, in the shade, with patience.
FABRIC CARE HIGHLIGHTS
Linen
Delicate but strong. Wash at max 30°C, reshape flat, and try our trick: after drying, place in the freezer overnight before ironing — for a crisp finish that lasts. Or if you want you van use high temperatures to iron.
Cotton
Tolerates more, but still prefers a gentle 30°C wash. Shake out and dry flat. Iron if needed — or let the wrinkles tell the story.
Wool
Best dry-cleaned or washed cold by hand. Lay flat over a towel to dry. Never wring or twist. Steam gently if needed, but never press too close.
Silk
Silk is a delicate, luminous material that deserves soft handling and gentle care. Something to cherish and protect.
Spot clean with cold water and a soft cloth.
Do not soak or wring.
Lay flat to dry, away from heat and light.
Avoid sharp objects or textured surfaces that may catch the embroidery or damage the fabric.
Nappa Leather
Avoid water, oils, and direct sunlight.
Wipe gently with a dry cloth if needed.
Store in a dust bag to maintain shape and texture.
Velvet
Brush gently to refresh the surface.
Avoid rubbing or soaking.
For deeper care, consult a specialist cleaner.
Hats
Wipe clean or hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Let dry naturally. To reshape, wear it slightly damp or use light steam.
