GENERAL CARE
spot clean little stains by gently dabbing with mild detergent and water — no scrubbing! to freshen things up, spritz with a mix of vinegar and water, then let it air out.
COTTON
a cool, gentle wash will keep cotton soft and easygoing. let it air dry in the shade to prevent fading and shrinking.
DENIM
less washing = better denim.
when needed, turn inside out, wash in cold water, and let it air dry to keep that
perfect worn-in feel. sunlight can fade the colour, so dry in the shade.
SILK
silk loves a gentle touch! hand wash in cool water, then lay flat on a towel to dry. hanging while wet can stretch it out, and perfumes or deodorants can leave stains, so be extra careful.
SUEDE
a suede brush works wonders for dust and dirt, while a suede eraser can fix little scuffs. for stains, lightly dab with a vinegar dampened cloth. if it gets wet, blot gently and let it dry naturally — never use heat!
LEATHER
a quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps leather looking sleek. condition it occasionally so it stays soft, and store it in a cool, dry spot.
WOOL
hand wash in cold water with a wool-friendly detergent or dry clean as needed. lay flat to dry and reshape while damp.
