Nothing more dramatic than your favorite sweater suddenly coming out of the wash as a crop top! Wool clothing (merino, alpaca, mohair) is best washed as little as possible in the first place, and is best ventilated. Crocheted or knitted items are delicate so it is best to wash them by hand at cold or lukewarm temperatures. Still using the washing machine? Avoid horror stories by checking the washing instructions, use a small amount of wool detergent but no fabric softener and choose a low rpm (around 400). What about drying? Never wring out wool clothing or put it in the dryer. Rather roll the garment in a towel to soak up excess water, then let it dry flat on a flat surface with a towel underneath.

Jeans aka denim garments do not need to be washed every time you have worn them, a few hours of airing is enough to remove odors. When you wash your jeans clothes after 4 to 5 wears, always turn them inside out with the zipper or buttons closed, and go for a gentle 30°C wash cycle to avoid discoloration and shrinkage. Furthermore, make sure to use liquid detergent sooner, omit fabric softener and avoid the dryer so that your items wear out less and keep their shape.

You will find a lot of viscose in our collections, including the more durable fabrics LENZING™ ECOVERO™, TENCEL™ Modal and TENCEL™ Lyocell. Because viscose is not as strong wet, it is best to treat it with care. Always follow the washing instructions, wash at up to 30°C with a fine program such as wool or silk. Turn your clothes inside out or use a laundry bag to avoid wear and tear. Add a dash of vinegar to the fabric softener compartment to keep the colors beautiful longer. In addition, avoid the dryer, and air dry your item on a hanger to prevent shrinkage. Fabric can sometimes feel a bit stiff and “cardboardy” after washing, but once dry and ironed, it will feel soft and supple again.

Cotton is a pleasant fabric to wear every day, easy to care for, can be washed at any temperature and can be tumble dried. However, to maintain softness and color, we recommend washing at 30°C maximum and air drying. In our collections you will also find organic cotton with the GOTS 95 label. This means that a textile product consists of at least 95% organically grown fibers and meets the strict environmental and social requirements of the Global Organic Textile Standard.

Special items require a specific approach and some extra love! Garments with embellishments, sequins or more delicate fabrics are always provided with an extra How To Care label, so you know how to keep them beautiful for as long as possible.
