CARE GUIDE: How to Love Your Clothes
Gentle Washes Only
- Hand wash or use a gentle cycle for delicate fabrics — think vintage silks and secondhand treasures.
- Always use cold water to prevent shrinkage and color fading.
- If it's a coat, send it to the dry cleaner at the end of each season, to keep it b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l.
Skip the Dryer
- Air dry whenever possible! Your clothes (and the planet) will thank you.
- Lay flat to dry for knits to avoid stretching, and hang light fabrics to let wrinkles fall away naturally.
Spot Treat First
- Spills happen! Dab stains gently with dishwashing liquid first and leave it for 5-10 minutes before washing soap off with mid-temp water.
- For stubborn stains, try a mix of water and baking soda or a gentle stain remover.
Steam, Don’t Iron
- A steamer is a gentle friend to both vintage and new clothes. No risk of burning and it’s quicker!
Give Them a Breather
- Rotate your wardrobe to avoid wearing out your favorites too quickly.
- Use padded hangers for delicate items and fold heavy knits to maintain their shape.
Store Thoughtfully
- Keep clothes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use breathable garment bags for vintage pieces you don’t wear often.
