Dear Customers,

Below are some instructions on how to treat your garments, so that they can last as long as possible and in the best condition. We remind you that the raw materials of some items like wool, derive from animals and out of respect we ask you to treat the garments responsibly by taking care of them. We do our best by choosing noble materials coming from responsible producers with animal welfare certifications and full respect for work ethics, but, the road to real compliance with the rules is still long, whatever they say, and it also requires your commitment. In our opinion this is the only possible real sustainability of fashion.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you need further information about how to take care of your garments but begin respecting the washing instructions on the label.

Knitwear

To retain this garment’s integrity please take the following steps: wash on a delicate cycle or by hand, arrange flat on a towel to dry, rotate to remove moisture from both sides and when dry, apply a cool iron. You can professionally dry clean your knitwear if that is your preference - dry cleaning can flatten the fibers. Cashmere and wool fibres like water to keep them supple and flexible.

In case of pilling, after the drying, we recommend the use of a lint remover - fabric shaver. Please follow the producer instructions carefully and after one or two cycles of shaving, your knit will definitively minimize pilling.

It is not necessary to wash your wool knit after every wear frequent washing can cause damage and fading. To keep your knits fresh between wears by let them air out, for example, laying them flat on a chair overnight. If your knit picks up smells or odours throughout the day, (e.g., from perfume or cooking), put it over you can let it air outside, flat and away from direct sunlight ; if you have a cast iron radiator, put your knit over it for few hours. Store your knitwear folded to keep its shape.
