Taking good care of your pieces helps them last longer. The golden rule: always follow the label of each item, as materials can vary from one piece to another. Here are the general tips that help in most cases.
1. Read the label
It tells you the washing temperature and which products to avoid. Get into the habit of reading it before the first wash.
2. A gentle wash
As a general rule, hand wash or use a delicate cycle in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. A laundry bag protects the seams. Avoid fabric softener, which can affect the elasticity of some fabrics.
3. What is best avoided
- Bleach.
- High-heat tumble drying.
- Vigorous spinning or wringing out the piece.
- Ironing directly on the fabric.
4. Air drying
Let the piece dry flat or hung up, in the shade and away from direct heat. Air drying helps fabrics keep their shape.
5. Careful storage
Fold your pieces flat in a dry drawer rather than hanging them on a hanger, which can stretch them over time. Rotating your pieces instead of wearing the same one every day also gives them time to regain their shape.
One last thing before the first wash
To request a return, the item must be new, unworn and unwashed. So try it on before washing it, and keep your tags while you're still deciding. All the details are in our return policy.
