CARE & LONGEVITY
These guidelines help take care of each piece so it lives with you through years of wear.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
- Follow the care label on the garment.
- Treat each piece gently - as you would a favourite object.
- Wash only when needed; often, a fresh air day is all a piece asks for.
COTTON & LINEN
- WASH: cold hand wash or machine wash on delicate cycle with mild detergent.
- DRY: line dry inside out in shade; avoid harsh sun that can dull colour.
- IRON: warm steam if needed.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Cotton and linen soften with wear; over-washing can flatten the texture rather than enrich it.
SILK & SILK BLENDS
- DRY CLEAN: Delicate silk fabrics often ask for professional drycleaning.
- WASH: some of our silks are washed and allow hand wash cold separately with gentle detergent or dry clean for deeper hues.
- DRY: shade air dry inside out, do not wring; avoid harsh sun that can dull colour.
TIP
Silk feels best when it moves freely - let it air .
WOOL & WOOL BLENDS
Soft, warm, and mindful of its space.
- REFRESH: air the garments before washing; many times refreshing is enough.
- DRY CLEAN: Wool fabrics often ask for professional drycleaning.
HANDWOVEN & NATURALLY DYED
- COLOUR: natural dyes may bleed slightly in first few washes .
- WASH: always separately at first.
- DRY: shade air dry inside out, do not wring; avoid harsh sun that can dull colour.
REMEMBER
Irregularities in weave and hue are not imperfections - they are evidence of the handcrafted process and the unique journey of each object.
EMBELLISHMENTS & DELICATE DETAILS
Lace, embroidery, trims - each tells its own story.
- WASH: use a soft wash bag or hand wash with care.
- AVOID: hard brushes or harsh scrubbing.
GENTLE TREATMENT
Helps preserves these beautiful handmade details.
Care forms connection. The way you wash, dry and store a piece becomes part of that object’s story with you. Over time, this attention deepens texture, softens wear and reveals quiet, lived-in grace..
