We recommend cold machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid tumble drying. Air-dry in the shade to preserve fabric integrity, colour, and shape. Some pieces (silk, wool, sequins) require dry cleaning. Always check the care label sewn into the garment first.
We've been styling Australian women for over 20 years and we want your investment pieces to last.
