Care Guide
-
Darned Repairs & Knitwear
Your garment has been lovingly darned by hand. To ensure the longevity of your repair, we recommend a cold or lukewarm hand wash with gentle detergent.
Dry your garment flat on a towel in indirect sunlight. Gently reshape while damp to prevent stretching and shrinkage.

Patch Repairs for Woven Garments
Your garment has been repaired using a patch and hand-sewn method. We recommend checking the original care label for laundering instructions.
For most cotton, silk and polyester garments we recommend a cold or lukewarm hand wash with gentle detergent.
Hang your garment to dry in indirect sunlight.
Iron on a low heat setting with plenty of steam with your garment turned inside out. Take extra care around patch repaired areas, ensuring that the repair is pressed from the reverse only.
If your garment is dryclean only, choose a trusted drycleaner and request a gentle/delicate service to ensure the longevity of your repair.
