Garment Care
We feel clothes are like friendships, the better you care for them, the longer they’ll stick around. We’re intentional about choosing good quality fabrics, the kind we’d want to live in ourselves. Each has its own little personality - some chill, some high-maintenance - so we’ve made a guide to help you keep them looking cute.
Cotton
Your easygoing, always-there-for-you fabric.
How to care
How to care
- Machine wash on gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water.
- Wash with like-coloured pieces.
- Iron on low if needed, or just steam (cotton loves steam).
- Flip inside-out to air dry (sunlight is a fade thief) and avoid tumble dry to keep the shape.
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
- We recommend hanging with padded hangers to avoid shoulder bumps (not cute).
Linen
The effortless soft living fabric.
How to care
How to care
- Gentle machine wash or hand wash, always in cold.
- Skip the dryer or high heat (linen shrinks fast). Air dry only.

Polyester
Low-maintenance bestie (looks good without trying).
How to care
How to care

Rayon / Viscose / Modal / Tencel™
Soft and sensitive (handle with care).
How to care
How to care
- Hand washing cold is best, she’s delicate.
- If you’re using machine washing, use a net on a gentle cycle.

- Low heat iron or steam to keep its natural drape.
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
- Do not use fabric softener or too much detergent.
Knits
Warm hugs giver, but don’t let them stretch!
How to care
How to care
- Hand wash cold. If using machine wash, use a net on a gentle & cold wash cycle.
- Lay flat to dry - hanging stretches it out.
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
- Fold, don’t hang. Hanging = stretch = regret.
- Do not use fabric softener or too much detergent.
Silk & Satin
The low-key high maintenance one (but worth it).
How to care
How to care
- Dry clean if possible, or hand wash super gently in cold water.
- No wringing, no twisting and pat dry with a towel like it’s a baby.
- Hang to dry and avoid direct sunlight.
- Steam lightly to bring back that smooth glow.
- Avoid ironing directly - always cover with a cloth, they’re too pretty for burns!
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
- Do not use fabric softener or too much detergent.
Denim
Potential heirloom and gets better with age.
How to care
How to care
- Wash inside out in cold water and give it a break from washing too often (denim hates baths).
- Skip the dryer - air dry only.
- Colour fade is natural (it’s their personality).
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
- Do not use fabric softener or too much detergent.
Embroidery / Eyelet / Lace
Too pretty but bruises easily.
How to care
How to care
- Hand wash or use a mesh bag on a gentle cycle.
- Wash in cold water only - heat makes laces, eyelets and embroidery threads cranky.
- Never tug loose threads, trim carefully.
- Air dry flat, skip the wring-out.
- Best to be steamed > iron.
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
- Do not use fabric softener or too much detergent.
Stains & Freshening Up
(because life happens)
How to care
How to care
- Dab stains gently with cold water + mild soap and leave it on for a few minutes - rubbing makes it worse.
- For odor refresh: air out in shade or give it a light steam.
- Dry clean for stubborn stains - sometimes you gotta call in the pros.
The bottom line: Treat your clothes like the timeless pieces they are. Give them a little TLC, like the kind to pass on, not toss out.
