Linens

All our linens are prewashed before being cut. This should remove the risk of garment shrinkage if properly cared for. We recommend washing in a max 30 degree Celsius cycle with gentle detergent, reshape while damp and air dry, do not tumble dry. Linen can be ironed fairly hot, be careful not to singe, best to iron when still slightly damp on the reverse side. Many of our linens are custom dyed, whilst we take every precaution to avoid risk of colour run, we cannot guarantee there will be none. If your garment has strong or contrasting colours, we recommend dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to minimise any possible colour run, and wash separately from other garments.

Wools

Wools should be hand washed in warm water, or washed in specific hand wash cycle max 20 degrees Celsius. ALWAYS use detergent designed for wool. Reshape your garment when damp and air dry, NEVER tumble dry. Wool can be ironed on a cool setting, best to iron when still slightly damp, use an ironing cloth or iron on the reverse side.

Silks

We recommend having silk garments dry cleaned professionally.

Quilted

Our range of quilted garments can be washed on a cool delicates cycle using gentle detergent, reshape while damp and allow to air dry inside and out, do not tumble dry. Many of our linens are custom dyed, whilst we take every precaution to avoid risk of colour run, we cannot guarantee there will be none. If your garment has strong or contrasting colours, we recommend dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to minimise any possible colour run, and wash separately from other garments.
