Caring for your hand-crafted garments

Your hand-crafted garments are made with delicate fibres – silks, super-fine merino wools and viscose – that combine to offer you garments with smooth surfaces, rich colours and textures, and a lovely “hand” or drape. Following centuries-old felting techniques with these high-quality fibres provides you with years of luxury wear as long as you treat your garments with care and follow a few simple approaches.

In general, felted garments should be protected from moths, friction and stretching as well as extended periods of excessive moisture or direct sunlight.

Cleaning Your Fine Felt

When your garment needs cleaning, you can spot clean, dry clean or wash it.

For spot treatment, use room-temperature water and gentle soap, then lay flat to dry.

For overall cleaning, dry clean or wash your garment as you would a fine woollen or cashmere sweater. Submerge it in lukewarm water with a gentle, neutral soap. Avoid agitation. Support garment as you drain soapy water and add lukewarm rinse water. Remove garment and roll in towel to remove excess moisture then lay garment flat to dry.
