Care of our fabrics
Rayon & Care
Rayon is made from cellulose derived from plants like trees, bamboo, and even cotton waste. Rayon is more a more sustainable option over petroleum synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon.
Rayon can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your clothes less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.
Cotton & Care
Cotton fabric is one of the most commonly used types of fabrics in the world.
Cotton fabric is derived from the fibers surrounding the seeds of cotton plants, which emerge in a round, fluffy formation once the seeds are mature.
Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your clothes less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.
Linen
Linen is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant. Linen is very strong and absorbent and dries faster than cotton. Because of these properties, linen is comfortable to wear in hot weather and is valued for use in garments.
Care of Linen
Always wash your linen inside out to prevent the surface fibres from breaking. Wash at 30 degrees or on a cool setting. Linen is a very absorbent fabric, so for a better wash try not to fill the machine too full, to allow your garments to soak up the water properly. Avoid tumble-drying your linen. We suggest line drying your linen on a hanger, as soon as you can after washing. Reshape and iron your garment inside out and whilst damp - both of which will reducing creasing.
