STAIN REMOVAL

Rinse the stain under a bit of cold water. Apply bleach-free stain remover and wash off with cold water. Avoid rubbing, as this can damage the delicate fibers.


PILLING

Cashmere is a natural fiber and may pill over time. Wash separately and inside-out to minimize pilling. If pills appear, avoid removing them by hand or with a razor. Use a cashmere comb instead.


WASHING AND DRYING

Wash infrequently to prevent weakening delicate fibers. Spot-clean, steam clean, or air out instead. When needed, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Soak for a couple of minutes without rubbing the fabric. To dry, press out excess water and lay flat on a clean white towel at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Never twist, hang-dry, or iron.


STORING

Fold and store with a piece of cedarwood to deter moths. Avoid hanging, as this may stretch the material. Always clean before storing.

STAIN REMOVAL

Treat stains promptly with a bleach-free stain remover on the reverse side. Allow it to soak in, then wash as directed on the care label. Repeat if needed. Only tumble-dry once the stain is fully gone.


WASHING AND DRYING

Most pieces can be machine-washed at 30° or 40°, inside out. Follow instructions on the care label. Tumble-drying is sometimes possible, but we recommend air-drying to extend the garment’s lifespan and conserve energy. It is possible to iron most cotton and synthetic garments.


STORING

Hang shirts to avoid creasing; fold other items. Store with cedarwood nearby to repel moths. Always clean before storing.

STAIN REMOVAL

Apply bleach-free stain remover directly to the stain as soon as possible. Let it soak in, then wash according to the care label. Repeat if needed.


WASHING AND DRYING

Denim should be washed as infrequently as possible to allow it to mold to your body, to extend the lifespan of the fibers and dye, and to save natural resources. We recommend spot-treating stains and airing garments.


STORING

Jeans can be hung from the waistband on clip hangers, slipped through a bar hanger, or folded on a shelf. Raw-denim jeans may develop marks over time, so we suggest hanging them whenever possible.
