how to care for your garments

Cashmere is a delicate, natural fibre that benefits from gentle care to preserve its softness and shape. Air your garement between wears to keep it fresh and  avoid unnecessary washing. When needed, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent suitable for cashmere, without rubbing or twisting. Gently remove excess water with a towel and lay flat to dry. 

Wool is a naturally resilient fibre with self-cleaning properties, meaning it requires less frequent washing. To refresh your knitwear, simply air it out between wears. When washing is necessary, hand wash gently in cold water or use a delicate, low-temperature cycle with minimal spin. Lay flat on a towel to dry, reshaping the garment while damp.

Viscose is a soft, fluid fibre that requires careful handling, particularly when wet, as it can become more delicate and lose its shape. Always check the care label before washing and, where suitable, use a gentle, low-temperature cycle. Avoid wringing or twisting the garment. Reshape carefully after washing and allow it to air dry, away from direct sunlight.

Satin is valued for its smooth surface and subtle sheen, which can be affected by friction and harsh washing. To preserve its finish, follow the care label and hand wash gently in cold water if suitable. Avoid rubbing, wringing or using high temperatures, and keep the garment away from rough surfaces. Air dry carefully and use a low-temperature iron on the reverse side if needed.

Delicate materials require extra care to maintain their texture, shape and finish over time. Always check the care label before washing, and opt for hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent whenever appropriate. Avoid twisting, rubbing or exposing garments to excessive heat. Lay flat or hang to dry according to the fabric and garment construction.

how to repair your garments

Loose threads and snags can occur with everyday wear, particularly in knitwear. Avoid pulling or cutting them, as this may cause further damage. Gently guide the thread back into the garment using a blunt needle, or seek professional assistance if needed.

Small holes are best repaired as soon as they appear to prevent them from becoming larger. Depending on the damage, delicate darning or professional knitwear repair can help restore the garment while preserving its original texture and shape.

Seams and edges can loosen over time with regular wear. If you notice a seam beginning to open or an edge becoming undone, repair it promptly to prevent further damage. For delicate fabrics or intricate knitwear, professional repair can help preserve the garment's structure and finish.
