GARMENT CARE

Here are some care instructions to help keep your items in good condition.

​

SILK CARE

​

  • Wash vintage silk separately in cool water only without harsh chemicals or bleach.

  • Do not ring garments as it may cause damage to the fibres.

  • Gently squeeze water out and dry in the shade.

  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

  • The silk will crinkle once dried. Some people prefer the look of crinkled silk.

  • If you would like it to be smooth or to make it a tad larger, use a warm iron carefully to relax it back to size.​

JEWELLERY CARE

​

  • Sterling Silver can be cleaned with a silver polishing cloth gently.

  • Silver plated jewellery can also be gently wiped with a silver polishing cloth, however over polishing will eventually remove the silver to reveal the base metal underneath.

  • Semi precious stones all vary in their hardness and porosity so care should always be taken to avoid getting wet.

  • Adjustable ring bands can be shaped to ones finger by gently manoeuvring to size.

VINTAGE TEXTILES

​

  • Vintage tribal textiles require gentle care to avoid damage.

  • Care should be taken with embellishments such as mirrors, coins and sequins so not to drop and smash. 

  • Take special care when wearing mirror embellished bags and straps, as they may scratch oneself or other items.

  • Avoid washing vintage textiles if possible, wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.

APPLIQUE CARE

​

  • If possible avoid washing items with appliques.

  • If washing is required, cold hand wash with gentle soap and natural dry in the shade.

  • Place a towel over the applique whilst using a warm iron to avoid damage to sequins.
