Care
We hope our garments can last for years and with careful care, they can.
Below you'll find care and washing instructions we've compiled for you.
Care Instructions
❋
Please be aware that with all natural, biodegradable fibre like linen, wear and tear is to be expected in high wear/friction areas (thighs, underarms).
❋
Linen clothes naturally become softer and more comfortable as they are worn. The more you move in it, the more comfortable it will become. The garments are not pre-washed.
❋
Please be aware linen shrinks considerably with washing, but tends to relax after a few wears. We find our linen garments can shrink 2 to 4 cm in the overall length when washed with lukewarm water. Wash in cold water to keep the size intact; if you want to shrink the garment slightly, wash it once with lukewarm water.
❋
We recommend very careful, infrequent washing and turning your garment inside out. Cold, gentle washing and hanging to dry or laying flat is recommended to prolong the life of your linen garments.
❋
Ironing clothes inside out helps you to avoid ironing marks.
❋
Prolonged direct sun exposure from drying may cause extra fading.
❋
Linen placed in a hot dryer can create considerable damage and extra shrinkage and fading to your garment. We do not recommend drying in a tumble dryer.
