We’ve been styling women for many many years. So, we know that you want your styling investment to last. To maintain the fabric integrity, colour, and shape of your garment, we strongly recommend a cold machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid tumble drying; always air-dry in the shade. Always refer to the specific care label attached to your item for material-specific instructions.
