CARE & MAINTAIN

 1: Washing

Use tepid water to gently handwash and rinse the garment. Sudden changes or extremes in water temperature may cause shrinkage. We recommend using a specific ‘delicate’ or ‘wool wash’ detergent, adding the suggested amount to a bowl of tepid water until dissolved. Then submerge the garment and use your hands to gently swish it around, then leave to soak for ten minutes.

2: Rinsing

Rinse the garment thoroughly until the water runs clear, gently pressing out the water each time. Do not wring or hang-dry your garment. Lay the garment in a large, clean, colourfast towel and roll the towel up, gently squeezing out any excess water until the garment is slightly damp. For a perfect finish, hand shape the scalloped edge and then leave to dry on a new towel away from direct sunlight.

3: Storage

Fold the garment lightly and encase it in white, acid-free tissue paper. Slip the garment into a clean pillowcase and store in a dry cupboard. It is recommended not to place anything on top of the garment package to avoid flattening. If you think you may have a moth problem, store bars of lavender scented soap nearby. When you need to use the garment again from storage, a quick spray of starch and gentle shaping is usually sufficient to restore it.
