GARMENT CARE

Our pieces are designed and made to last, however, taking extra care of your garments can prolong their lifespan and keep them looking lovely for longer. By spot cleaning garments where possible, you can reduce the need for frequent washing with detergent and excess water consumption, extending the life of your clothing. We recommend cold hand washing with a mild or delicate detergent, unless otherwise stated as "dry clean only." When washing, be sure to handle wet garments with extra care, as many fibres and fabrics become weaker when wet.

Our knits are made with high-quality yarn and will last a long time with the right care. Fluffy angora or mohair knits may shed when first worn, but this is a natural characteristic of the yarn that will reduce with wear. We encourage you to treat our knits delicately, avoid wearing jewellery or accessories that may snag or pull at the yarn.

Our premium leather pieces are a timeless wardrobe staple and may be lightly spot cleaned with a damp cloth or taken to a specialist leather dry cleaner.

If your garment experiences wear and tear over time, we encourage you to repair it to prolong its lifespan. We include spare buttons on all of our pieces, and we encourage you to hold on to them in case of future use. If you have any questions about repairing a garment or need button replacements, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team.
