Care Guide

Taking care of the pieces you buy ensures they stay looking their best for longer, benefiting both your wardrobe and the environment. Follow our simple care guide for advice on handling delicates, denim, outerwear, wool, leather, underwear, and swimwear, and always remember to check the care label!

DENIM

Denim, rooted in workwear, is a durable fabric that doesn’t require frequent washing. By washing less, you conserve water and energy. Plus, wearing denim without washing helps develop unique fades and lines, giving your jeans character and making them distinctly yours.

For stain treatment, spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent, then blot away any excess. To freshen your denim, air them outside, hang them in a steamy bathroom, or pop them in the freezer for a few hours to eliminate bacteria and odors.

When it’s time to wash, turn pre-washed denim inside out and wash by hand or machine. Since indigo can bleed, wash it alone or with similar colors. For raw denim, immerse it in a bath of water or use a gentle cold cycle in the machine, always with a mild detergent.

To dry, hang your denim to air dry naturally—avoid the dryer, as it can damage the elastane that allows your denim to stretch and recover.

OUTERWEAR

If your outerwear gets wet, dry it thoroughly in a warm room, but avoid direct heat sources like radiators. Water-repellent items have been treated to prevent saturation, allowing water to bead on the surface. Maintain their functionality by applying a PFC-free water-repellent spray every season, especially if the water no longer beads.

Check buttons and fastenings regularly, and keep spare parts for future repairs. Only wash your jacket when necessary, following the care instructions. To restore the loft of padded jackets, tumble dry them with a few tennis balls.

UNDERWEAR & SWIMWEAR

Since underwear and swimwear are worn close to the body, wash them at a slightly higher temperature than your body temperature—around 40°C is ideal in a mesh washing bag. For swimwear, rinse with cold water after swimming to remove salt or chlorine.

WOOL

Woollen items don’t require frequent washing and can be maintained through spot cleaning and airing. When you do wash, check the care instructions for temperature and use a low spin cycle. Opt for a mild or specialist wool detergent, gently reshape while damp, and dry flat to prevent stretching.

Pilling, or small bobbles, is normal and can be easily removed with a wool comb. To keep your woolen items in shape, fold them instead of hanging, and use moth protection products between seasons.

LEATHER

Protect your leather from humidity, heat, and chemicals. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces that can scratch or damage it. If your leather item gets wet, air dry it at room temperature, away from direct heat.

For light stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth, and consult a specialist leather dry cleaner for other care needs.

DELICATES

Delicate fabrics, such as silk, viscose, linen, or those with special embellishments, require extra care. Some can be machine washed, while others should be hand washed or dry cleaned—always refer to the care label.

Rather than washing after every wear, freshen delicates by airing them outside or wearing a fitted cotton top underneath. When washing, use the delicate cycle if machine washable, check the temperature, and protect items in a mesh bag. For hand-washed items, use cold water with a special detergent for delicates, and avoid stretching when wet. A great tip is to roll the garment in a clean towel to press out excess water, then dry flat.

To reduce creasing, hang items in a steamy bathroom, and follow temperature instructions when ironing. For dry-clean only items, seek specialist advice.

Be mindful of how you store and wear these items, as sharp or rough surfaces can snag or mark delicate fabrics.
