This is how we care for our clothing.

The right care can help your clothes look and feel better, and even extend it’s life.

Know what to fold and what to hang. Proper storage is a lot more important than you may realize. For example, most knitwear pieces don’t want to be hung - heavy material can fall victim to gravity, leaving you with a warped sweater. Hang non-denim pants, blouses, jackets and most dresses; fold sweaters, t-shirts, jeans activewear and shorts.

Buy a sewing kit. There’s no need to throw away clothing from a little boo-boo - and you don’t need to be a professional seamstress star or own a sewing machine to be able to handle basic repairs on damaged clothing. Simply buy a small sewing kit with needles and thread, then follow any video tutorial to repair split seams as they happen.

Hand-wash your delicates. Many delicate fabrics (including those with spandex) will wear away after too many wash cycles. Even if you don’t see a noticeable change after running a delicate garment through the machine, it may still have been damaged and will continue to worsen over time. If a care label says hand wash, follow the advice.

When in doubt, air-dry. Have you ever accidentally shrunk something in the wash? Often when this happens, the shrinkage is irreversible and you may never be able to wear a beloved piece again. To avoid, we recommend investing in a good, old-fashioned drying rack. And if you’re not completely sure a certain fabric is immune from shrinking, hang it up to air-dry. You can always fluff it up in the dryer for a few minutes later on.
