Washing

If your scarf has stains, gently blot or treat them before washing. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as it can damage the fabric.

Important: Sort laundry according to color, grouping dark, medium and light colors separately.

Hand washing is generally gentler, but you can use a washing machine on a delicate cycle for convenience. Use max. 30°C water to preserve the fabric’s quality. If using a washing machine, don’t overload it. Scarves need space to move freely during the cycle. 

Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Harsh chemicals can damage the material.

Drying

After washing, we advise to gently hang the scarf to air dry. If using a dryer, opt for low temperature and a maximum drying time of 5 minutes.

Once dry, fold or hang the scarf neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and potential snags.

Ironing

Ensure your iron is clean and free of any residue. Set your iron to a low-heat setting. Place a thin cloth or a pressing cloth over the scarf. This prevents direct contact between the iron and the fabric, minimizing the risk of damage.

Move the iron in smooth, even strokes over the scarf, following its natural shape. Pay extra attention to any wrinkles or creases. Another option is to use a hand steamer to iron your scarf when necessary.

Read the Care Label

This is your first and most important step. Always follow our manufacturer’s instructions for the best careresults.

Spot Clean When Possible

Address spills and stains immediately, but avoid washing the entire garment if a spot clean will do. Use agentle stain remover suitable for the fabric type.

Use Garment Bags

When machine washing delicate dresses, place them in mesh laundry bags to protect them fromsnagging or tangling with other items.

Correct Detergent

Use a detergent that matches the fabric type. Special detergents for delicate fabrics, wool, and silk canmake a significant difference.

Avoid Over-Washing

Washing clothes too frequently can shorten their lifespan. Air out dresses after wearing to see if they canbe worn again before washing.

Proper Storage

Store dresses properly to maintain their shape and fabric integrity. Use padded hangers for heavy ordelicate dresses to avoid stretching. Fold heavier items like knit dresses to prevent hanger marks.

Mind the Zippers and Buttons

Fasten zippers and buttons before washing. This helps to prevent them from snagging other garments ordamaging the fabric of the dress itself.

Dry Cleaning

For high-end, delicate, or heavily embellished dresses, consider professional dry cleaning. It can be moregentle and effective for certain fabrics and constructions.

Ironing and Steaming

Some fabrics respond better to steaming than ironing. Steaming is less likely to cause damage and can beespecially effective for delicate or textured fabrics.

Seasonal Rotation

Rotate your dresses seasonally. Clean them before storing and use breathable garment bags to protectagainst dust and pests. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew or fading from sunlight.

Moth Prevention

For wool or cashmere dresses, use natural moth repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets in your closet.

Washing: Hand wash cashmere items in lukewarm water using a mild detergent or a shampoo specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce their natural softness. Gently swirl the garment in the water without stretching or wringing it.

Rinsing: Rinse the garment in clean, lukewarm water until the water runs clear. You can gently press the water out, but do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can distort its shape.

Drying: After washing, lay the garment flat on a clean towel and roll it up to gently press out excess water. Then, unroll the towel and lay the item flat on a fresh, dry towel or a drying rack away from direct heat and sunlight. Reshape the garment as needed and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid hanging cashmere garments, as the weight of the water can stretch the fabric.

Storage: Once completely dry, cashmere should be stored folded in a drawer or on a shelf to avoid stretching or distorting its shape. For long-term storage, ensure the garment is clean to avoid attracting moths, and consider using a breathable garment bag with cedar blocks or lavender sachets for added protection against pests.

Pilling: Cashmere can pill where the fabric rubs together, such as under the arms or at the sides of a sweater. Use a cashmere comb or a pilling razor to gently remove pills, taking care not to snag or pull the fibers.

Ironing: It’s rarely necessary to iron cashmere, but if you must, use a low heat setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the cashmere garment to protect the fibers. Alternatively, steaming can gently remove wrinkles without direct contact.

Professional Cleaning: For stains or odors that cannot be removed with gentle hand washing, consider taking your cashmere item to a professional cleaner who is experienced with delicate fabrics.

Washing: Check the care label first, as some wool items can be machine washed on a gentle, wool, or hand wash cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent designed for wool. For hand washing, use lukewarm water and gently agitate the item. Avoid twisting or wringing as this can cause the wool to lose its shape.

Drying: Never tumble dry wool garments, as the heat and agitation can cause shrinking and felting. After washing, gently press out excess water without twisting. Lay the item flat on a clean, dry towel, and roll it up to absorb moisture. Then, lay it flat to air dry on a new dry towel or a drying rack, reshaping it as necessary. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can cause shrinkage or fading.

Ironing: If needed, iron wool garments on a low heat setting with steam to help remove wrinkles. Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the wool to protect the fabric. Many wool garments will naturally release wrinkles when hung properly or laid flat during drying.

Storage: Store wool items clean to avoid attracting moths. Fold them and place them in a drawer or on a shelf rather than hanging, which can stretch them out of shape. For long-term storage, use breathable garment bags or containers with cedar balls or lavender sachets to deter pests.

Pilling: Wool can pill, which are small balls of fiber that form on the surface of the fabric due to friction. These can be gently removed with a pilling comb or a fabric shaver, being careful not to damage the garment.

Moth Prevention: Wool is prone to moth infestations. Keep woolens clean, as moths are attracted to body oils, sweat, and food stains. Use natural deterrents like cedar blocks, lavender sachets, or mothballs in storage areas, ensuring they do not directly contact the garments to avoid damage.

Refreshing: Wool has natural odor-resistant properties, so often, airing out wool garments can refresh them between wears. Hanging wool in a steamy bathroom can also help remove odors and wrinkles without washing.
