Care guide

Care is the cheapest sustainability there is

Most garments fail from washing, not wearing. These are the same notes we hand to customers in the studio — shorter than a care manual, honest about what actually matters.

Folded garments in ivory, oat, moss and rust with a garment brush, cedar blocks and wool wash

Washing

Air for 24 hours after wearing — this resolves most odour
Wash only when truly needed: hand wash cold with a lanolin wool wash
Never wring. Press water out between two towels

Storing

Fold knitwear; hang tailoring on wide wooden hangers
Cedar blocks among folded pieces, refreshed twice a year
Clean before long storage — moths seek skin oils, not wool itself

Reviving

De-pill with a cashmere comb, never a razor
Steam rather than iron to raise a flattened surface
Bring moth holes to us early — small darns are invisible, large ones are visible mending

Past the point of care?

When washing and reviving aren't enough, the repair room takes over. Send photographs and we'll tell you honestly what can be saved.

Wool & merinoWool cleans itself if you let it. Most of what sends knitwear to landfill is over-washing, not wear.

Reviving

LinenLinen is the most forgiving fibre we use. It grows softer and more personal with every wash, and outlasts cotton several times over.

Silk-cottonOur signature blend wears like cotton and drapes like silk — and asks for slightly gentler treatment than either alone.

Stains & accidentsAlmost every stain is recoverable if treated fast and never heat-set. The wrong move is the dryer, not the stain.
