1. The Less-is-More Washing Ethos
Over-washing is the primary cause of fiber breakdown in luxury natural textiles. Certified organic cotton, raw linen, and heavyweight hemp possess natural antibacterial properties and breathe effortlessly.
Between wears, we recommend hanging your garments in a well-ventilated space or steaming them lightly. Wash only when genuinely necessary to double the lifespan of your pieces and conserve planetary water.
2. Material-Specific Care Protocols
Follow these customized instructions based on the primary textile of your garment:
T-Shirts, Hoodies & Sweatpants
- • Always invert inside out before washing.
- • Cold wash at max 30°C / 86°F on gentle spin (600–800 RPM).
- • Reshape damp seams and lay flat on a drying rack.
- • Never tumble dry to avoid shrinking the drop-shoulder cut.
Overshirts, Relaxed Trousers & Blousons
- • Delicate wash cycle with plenty of water.
- • Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
- • Hang dry on a wide wooden coat hanger while moist.
- • Warm steam iron while slightly damp for effortless drape.
Sweaters, Cardigans & Ribbed Tops
- • Hand wash in cool water using specialized wool detergent.
- • Press out moisture between two clean towels (do not wring).
- • Dry flat on a horizontal surface.
- • Never hang knitwear (prevents shoulder dimples).
Belts, Bags & Leather Accents
- • Wipe clean with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
- • Avoid submersion in water or chemical solvents.
- • Apply a thin coat of natural beeswax balm once yearly.
- • Store in the provided organic cotton dust pouch.
3. The Golden Rules: Wash, Dry & Steam
4. Storage & Archival Preservation
When putting your seasonal capsule pieces into storage:
Always fold sweaters and heavy fleece hoodies flat to prevent neck and shoulder sagging.
Use wide, contoured wooden hangers for heavy jackets and overcoats to maintain shoulder structure.
Place natural red cedar blocks in your wardrobe to repel moths without toxic chemical mothballs.
