Care for Linen Items

Machine wash, cold water or up to 30ºC/86ºF, gentle cycle
TO preserve the natural fibers of linen, always wash in cold water or up to 30ºC/86ºF on a gentle cycle. This helps to maintain the texture and colour of your garment. Avoid hot water as it can cause the fibers to shrink or distort over time.

Use gentle or eco-friendly detergent
Linen is a delicate fabric, so it's important to use a gentle or eco-friendly detergent. Harsh chemicals can damage the fibers and fade the fabric, so opt for milder alternatives that are kind to both the fabric and the environment.

Hang in the shade to dry, do not tumble dry
Air dry your linen garment by hanging it in the shade to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can weaken the fabric and lead to shrinkage. Allowing your garment to dry naturally will keep it soft and breathable.

Warm iron if needed
Linen naturally wrinkles, which is part of its charm, but if you prefer a smoother look, iron on a warm setting while the fabric is slightly damp. This will make ironing easier and will help the garment maintain its shape without overheating the fabric.

Do not bleach
Bleaching agents can weaken the natural fibers of linen and damage the fabric’s appearance. Stick to gentle washing methods and avoid using bleach to preserve the integrity of your garment.

Note: Our linen fabrics are pre-washed before we make the garments to ensure they maintain their size and shape over time and help to minimize any shrinkage after washing.
