General washing tips:

  • With more delicate products, we recommend using a laundry bag.
  • For tights, we recommend hand washing and styling while damp.
  • Especially products with prints should be turned inside out before washing.
  • Please note that Velcro and zippers on clothes may damage other clothes in the same machine.
  • The clothes may shrink in the first wash, depending on the product, by 5-8%.
  • Possible stains should be removed as soon as they appear, but we recommend local stain removal at the latest before putting the garment in the washing machine.
  • However, long soaking times in cool water may be harmful to prints and colors.
  • In particular, the washing interval for women's clothes can and should be extended by airing the clothes after use.

Lyocell

For the silky soft and beautifully draped lyocell product, we recommend machine washing with silk and wool detergent on a wool wash program inside out if necessary. This way your clothes stay soft and retain their shine and color the best. Often, however, ventilation is sufficient - prefer ventilation in the open air, and avoid direct sunlight. We do not recommend tumble drying or using fabric softener, as these may fade the colors. Biodegradable lyocell is a strong and durable cellulose conversion fiber that is made from rapidly renewable raw materials, most commonly eucalyptus. Lyocell's production process is environmentally friendly and energy efficient, and the non-toxic organic solvent used in production can be recycled almost 100%.

Viscose is a beautifully flowing and breathable material that is silky soft against the skin. In order for viscose to retain its properties from one use to another, it is important to care for it gently. We recommend using a laundry bag for viscose products. Viscose shrinks 4-8% in the first water wash. The viscose fabric can feel hard when wet, but the softness returns when the product dries.

Cashmere wool

Kashmir wool is one of the warmest natural fibers in the world. The warmth is due to the fluffiness of the fiber, which creates small air pockets that act as insulation against the cold. Due to the softness and fluffiness, all cashmere knits are sensitive to pilling - that is a characteristic of Kashmir and with good care, the knit can look neat again. As the fibers settle over time, pilling also decreases.

You can easily keep cashmere beautiful with a knitting comb . You can easily extend the washing interval by airing the sweater between uses. It is good to handle the sweater carefully when washing, because when wet it molds most sensitively, we recommend drying it flat. Read more about Kashmir care here .
