A little care goes a long way

Quick Care Tips

Simple habits to make your pieces last longer.

Follow the care label

Use cold water

Air dry when possible

Avoid high heat

Treat with care

Care by Fabric

Each fabric is different. These are the ways we look after ours, and what we would tell a friend who asked.

Crepe and jersey

Crepe and jersey

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out. Hang to dry, never tumble.

Silk and satin

Silk and satin

Hand wash cold or dry clean. Use a mild detergent and hang to dry away from sun.

Knitwear

Knitwear

Hand wash cold, press the water out, never wring. Lay flat to dry to keep the shape.

Denim

Denim

Turn inside out and wash cold. Wash as little as you can to keep the colour and the fit.

Storing your pieces

Hang tailoring and dresses on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape. Fold knitwear instead of hanging it, otherwise the shoulders stretch and never come back. Give everything a little space on the rail, crushed fabric creases in places that are hard to press out.

Pilling, snags and small repairs

Pilling is normal on soft knits and is not a fault. Use a fabric comb or a sweater stone and work in one direction. If a thread pulls, do not cut it, push it through to the inside with a needle.

When to dry clean

Dry clean when the label says so and when the piece is lined. Spot clean marks quickly with cold water and a cloth, blot rather than rub, and let it dry before you decide whether it needs more.

Longer life,
brighter days.

Pieces that are cared for look better and last longer, which is the whole point of buying something made in a limited run.
