Our garments are designed to be lived in. The marks of regular use; softening, fading, wrinkles, and wear, are part of what make them yours.
Washing less, using cold water, and avoiding unnecessary heat will extend the life of almost every garment while reducing its environmental impact. We encourage you to wear your pieces often, care for them thoughtfully, and repair them when needed.
If a garment is made from more than one fiber, we recommend following the care instructions for the more delicate material.
Cotton
Cotton is durable and easy to care for. Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Hang drying is recommended to preserve the fabric and reduce shrinkage, though tumble drying on low heat is also suitable. Iron on a medium or high setting if desired.
Nylon
Nylon is a durable performance fiber that is best washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang dry whenever possible or tumble dry on a low setting. High heat can damage synthetic fibers and reduce their performance, so avoid hot dryers and high-temperature ironing. Fabric softeners are generally not recommended, as they can affect the fabric's technical properties.
Silk
Silk should be treated gently. Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean if the garment has structure or tailoring. Hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature on the reverse side while the fabric is slightly damp. Avoid bleach, prolonged soaking, and high heat.
TENCEL™
TENCEL™ is soft, breathable, and benefits from gentle care. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Hang or lay flat to dry, and avoid high heat, which can weaken the fibers over time. If needed, iron on a low setting.
Wool
Wool rarely needs frequent washing. Most of the time, simply airing it out between wears is enough to keep it fresh. When it does need cleaning, hand wash or machine wash cold on a wool or delicate cycle using a wool-specific detergent. Lay flat to dry and avoid hanging while wet, as the fibers can stretch. If needed, use a low iron with steam. Avoid high heat, which can cause the fibers to shrink or felt.
A little care goes a long way. We hope these are pieces you'll wear often, repair when needed, and keep for many years.
