Fabric is valuable. We have compiled a set of guidelines to assist you in maintaining your new purchase.
Kindly adhere to the washing and garment care instructions inside the clothes and provided below, as we cannot accommodate claims on fabrics that have been improperly laundered.
Washing and Drying Guidelines
Washing Tips:
- Colour Separation:
Sort laundry into groups with similar colours, such as whites, dark colours, and light colours, to prevent dye transfer.
Always rinse new items in cold water before wearing to avoid colour runs.
- Use of Laundry Bag:
Wash garments in a fine mesh laundry bag to maintain their shape and protect them from damage. This is particularly recommended for garments with prints, embroidery, or decorations.
- Water Temperature:
Use a gentle machine wash with a maximum temperature of 30°C. If unsure about the appropriate temperature, always opt for cold water.
- Detergent and Soaking:
Use a neutral detergent and avoid bleach, fluorescent brighteners, and excessive detergent or softener. Do not soak garments, especially those with white and coloured panels, to prevent damage.
- Handling Special Fabrics:
For woollen and suit fabrics, reduce friction when wearing and wash them inside out. Air dry naturally, preferably inside out, to reduce pilling. For fringe products, hand wash only and avoid vigorous rubbing.
Drying Tips:
- Avoid Wet Stains:
Do not leave clothes in a wet state to prevent staining. Gently spin at a low speed and avoid using a dryer to prevent shrinkage.
- Shape Maintenance:
Adjust the shape of the clothes immediately after washing to prevent deformation. Dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. For knitted products, use flat drying to avoid deformation caused by hangers and stretching. - Proper Drying Technique:
Avoid pulling on collars when hanging garments. It is recommended to hang clothes from the hem upwards.
Wearing and Special Care Instructions
Ironing and Steaming:
- Ironing:
Always iron garments at a low temperature, not exceeding 110°C. Do not iron over prints or embellishments to avoid damage. - Steaming:
Use a garment steamer for linen garments and those with pleats. This helps reverse the shrinkage process and maintain the integrity of pleats. Avoid using a conventional iron on pleated garments.
Preventing Stains and Damage:
- Colour Transfer Prevention:
Avoid wearing denims or suede items with light-coloured clothing or accessories, especially during the first few wears, to prevent colour transfer. - Handling Fastenings:
Ensure garments are zipped or buttoned up before washing to prevent damage. - Professional Cleaning:
Send sweaters and garments made from special materials to professional dry cleaners.
Other Important Tips
- Natural Fiber Care:
Natural fibers like cotton and linen have higher moisture absorption and may shrink over time. This is a normal occurrence after washing. - Colour Fading:
Dye may gradually fade with repeated washing and sun exposure, which is normal. - Avoiding Shrinkage:
Avoid using a dryer, as it can cause clothes to shrink. - Zipper Care:
Zippers are consumables and may wear out with use and washing. This is a normal occurrence. - Avoid Drip Drying:
Do not drip-dry garments, especially those with pleats, as this can cause permanent damage.
By following these comprehensive care guidelines, you can maintain the quality and longevity of your garments, ensuring they remain in good condition.
