Fabric & Care

We choose natural, durable fabrics designed to live with you. Slight variations in weave, slub, and shade are characteristics of small-batch production—they make each piece uniquely yours.

General care

• Wash less, air more. Hang to air between wears; spot clean where possible.

• Cold, gentle wash. Use a mild liquid detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softener.

• Delicates bag. Close zips, fasten buttons, turn garments inside-out, and wash with similar colours.

• Line dry in shade. Avoid tumble drying where possible.

• Steam to refresh. A handheld steamer relaxes creases without flattening the fabric’s character.

Linen

What to expect

• Natural slub texture and a soft, breathable hand.

• Linen relaxes with wear and softens over time. Minor creasing is part of its charm.

Washing

• Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle or hand wash.

• Use mild detergent. No bleach. Wash light and dark colours separately.

• Turn inside-out; use a delicates bag for pieces with trims or embroidery.

Drying

• Line dry in shade. Avoid prolonged direct sun to minimise fade.

• If using a dryer, choose low heat and remove while slightly damp to reduce set creases.

Pressing

• Steam or iron on medium-high while slightly damp; use a pressing cloth on dark colours.

• For structured styles (pleats, darts), press from the inside to maintain crisp lines.

Storage

• Hang tailored pieces; fold knits or heavy linen to avoid stretching.

• Keep away from rough surfaces to prevent snags.

Stain tips

• Oil/food: pre-treat with a little dish soap, then cold wash.

• Tannin (tea/coffee/wine): rinse promptly in cold water, then wash.

• Makeup/deodorant: gently dab with stain soap; avoid rubbing hard.

Linen care: Cold gentle wash, wash inside-out, line dry in shade, warm steam/iron, do not bleach.

Denim

What to expect

• Small-batch denim can vary slightly in shade. Indigo may transfer (especially on first wears).

• Denim molds to your body; fading and whiskers develop with time—this is intentional.

Before first wear

• Avoid light upholstery and clothing until the first cold wash to reduce colour rub-off.

• Wash dark indigo separately the first few times.

Washing

• Turn inside-out. Machine wash cold (30°C) on gentle.

• Mild detergent, no bleach, no softener (it can flatten the yarns and reduce longevity).

• Wash with similar colours; avoid over-washing to preserve colour and shape.

Drying

• Line dry inside-out in shade. Avoid high heat (it can cause shrinkage and damage hardware).

• Smooth seams and reshape while damp.

Pressing & finishing

• Steam to relax creases; medium iron if needed, inside-out.

• For styles with raw hems or decorative top-stitching, use a delicates bag to reduce fray and abrasion.

Care notes for black/coloured denim

• Add a cup of white vinegar to the first cold wash to help set colour (optional home tip).

• Always wash with like colours; colour loss is normal over time.

Repairs & longevity

• If a stitch loosens or a hem needs attention, we encourage simple repairs—it extends the life of your garment. (Ask us about repair recommendations in Sydney.)

Denim care: Cold gentle wash inside-out with similar colours, line dry in shade, do not bleach, do not tumble (or low heat only), warm iron inside-out.

Fit, shrinkage & finish

• Natural fibres may relax up to ~3% with wear and recover after washing; minimal first-wash shrinkage can occur with heat. Keep to cold water + low heat to minimise.

• Creasing and subtle shade variation are part of the fabric’s character in small-batch production.

Sustainability

• Wash cold, line dry, steam instead of iron when possible—it saves energy and helps garments last longer.

• Please reuse or recycle our low-impact packaging.
