CARE GUIDE
Made from natural materials, our pieces are crafted so you can wear them for decades to come. Leather and wool are durable materials that last, but also need care once in a while. Want to know how? Read more on how you can maintain and refresh your pieces below.
SHEEP LEATHER
For our collections, we mostly use sheep leather because of its great luster and durability. It’s a versatile material that is widely known for its grain structure. As it is polished with a wax finish, the leather skin is durable and outside dirt won’t easily affect the material. But just like humans, the skin of animals can show small scars, pores or discoloration. Please know that these aren’t material flaws, as it only shows the authenticity that is distinctive for genuine leather pieces.
To keep your leather piece looking its best over time, a little care goes a long way. Before wearing, we recommend treating it with a water-repellent spray — hold the spray about 30 cm away from the garment and let it air dry outside in dry weather. Try to avoid wearing sheep leather in heavy rain, but if it does get wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight, artificial light, or moisture can affect the leather over time, so it’s best to store your item in a cool, dry place. Always hang your leather garments on a sturdy hanger to help them maintain their shape, and avoid storing them in plastic, which can trap moisture. Also, if you’ve just applied perfume, oils, or moisturizer, give it a few minutes before putting on your leather piece to avoid contact with those substances.
Finally, when it’s time to clean your item, we highly recommend bringing it to a professional leather specialist. With the right care, your leather piece will continue to age beautifully and stay with you for years to come.
WASHABLE STRETCH LEATHER
We’ve developed our stretch leather in collaboration with the original pioneers of the concept, perfecting it over the years into the premium quality known today. Each piece is ultra-light and fused onto a cotton-Lycra base for exceptional stretch and a smooth, second-skin fit. To maintain their shape and quality, a few simple care steps are recommended.
Before and after washing:
Run an empty cycle to clear detergent residue.
1. Wash cold and inside out
Turn the item inside out, don’t fold, and wash at or below 30°C.
2. Use short, delicate cycle
Select the gentlest, shortest program preferably wool—with no spin cycle.
3. Use minimal liquid detergent
Add a small amount of soft leather detergent or baby shampoo to the detergent drawer (not the drum). Please use liquid detergent only, as it dissolves better than powder.
4. Remove immediately and dry flat on a towel
Remove the item as soon as the cycle ends. Don’t wring, tumble dry, or expose to sunlight or radiator heat. Lay it flat on a towel to dry for 24–48 hours to prevent color transfer.
5. Iron carefully
Once dry, rub gently by hand to soften. Iron both sides using a cloth between the iron and leather.
Note:
Machine washing may change the leather's look and feel. These items are washable for hygiene only—not appearance. Bright colors may fade. The pants regain shape and suppleness with wear but they aren’t rain-safe. This kind of moisture may damage them.
SUEDE
Goat suede is a very well-represented material in our collections, as it possesses the perfect balance between classy and cute. Unlike most kinds of leather, suede is made from the underside of animal skin, in stead of the upper side. Therefore, suede is also more delicate and should be treated as a luxury material. It lacks the toughness of normal leather, but is much softer and more comfortable when worn on the skin.
To keep your suede pieces looking their best, a bit of care goes a long way. Before wearing, we recommend treating the item with a water-repellent spray. Hold the spray about 30 centimeters away from the garment and allow it to air dry outside in dry weather. Because suede is a delicate material, it’s best not to wear it in the rain. If your item does get wet, we advise taking it to a professional leather specialist to avoid damage.
Over time, suede can show signs of wear such as discoloration or greasy edges, but these can often be refreshed using a suede cleaning block. To preserve the material, it’s also important to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, artificial light, or moisture, as these elements can alter the texture and color. When storing your suede items, never use plastic, as it can trap moisture and damage the leather. For thorough cleaning or restoration, always rely on a leather specialist who understands how to care for this beautiful and sensitive material.
TEDDY WOOL
Our Teddy wool has a very fluffy surface, as one would expect. It’s often described as sheep fabric, because of its soft and tufty fibres. The fabric remains breathable while still protecting the wearers’ body temperature on colder days. For our collections, we mostly use it for jackets and coats.
To keep your teddy wool and faux mohair pieces looking their best, proper care is essential. Teddy wool garments should be taken to a professional dry-cleaning service, as machine washing can damage the fabric. This material requires gentle treatment to maintain its softness and structure. When storing your teddy wool jacket, it’s important to hang it on a sturdy clothing hanger to help preserve its shape over time. Also, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, artificial light, or moisture for extended periods, as these can affect the texture and color of the fabric.
Faux mohair, while warm and stylish, is not suitable for wear in heavy rain. If it does happen to get wet, allow it to air dry at room temperature and never place it near a heater or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the fibers. To keep it looking fresh, we recommend brushing the fabric occasionally. This not only removes smog and dust but also helps restore the natural fluffiness of the material. With just a bit of care, these pieces will remain comfortable, beautiful, and ready to wear whenever you are.
WOOL
Wool items are the perfect transitional pieces that work all year round. We use a premium quality blend that is made from 80 percent pure wool. Our pieces are made from a double-faced wool that required a particular finishing technique only possible through hand stitching. They are amazing for styling all year round, especially in combination with our leather items.
To ensure your wool pieces remain in beautiful condition season after season, it’s important to care for them with a bit of attention. Wool is a natural and refined material, and for cleaning, we recommend taking your garments to a trusted dry-cleaning service. Machine washing is not suitable, as it can damage the delicate fibers and affect the fit and feel of the piece.
When it comes to storage, cleanliness is key. Before putting your wool items away, make sure they are free from food stains or body oils—this helps prevent moths, which are naturally attracted to such residues. Always hang your wool jackets on a sturdy clothing hanger to help them keep their shape, and avoid folding them for long periods.
Wool also doesn’t respond well to extreme conditions, so it’s best to store your items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, artificial light, or damp environments. With the right care, your wool pieces will remain timeless staples in your wardrobe, ready to wear year after year.
FAUX MOHAIR
Faux mohair is a new addition to our Fall-Winter 2022 collection. Made from a brushed wool mix, we celebrate it for its great luster and durability. The fabric is comprised of wool and acrylic yarns, and embodies the look of mohair perfectly. For this collection, we used it for a selection of our outerwear items as the material works perfectly with different weather conditions and temperatures.
To ensure your faux mohair pieces stay in their best shape, it’s important to care for them with attention and gentleness. These items should be cleaned by a professional dry-cleaning service, as the delicate fabric is not suitable for machine washing. Preserving the structure and texture of faux mohair starts with proper cleaning, but storage is just as essential.
Always hang your wool or faux mohair jackets on a sturdy clothing hanger to maintain their shape. When storing them, avoid using plastic coverings, as they can trap moisture and potentially damage the fibers. It’s also important to keep these items away from prolonged exposure to sunlight, artificial light, or damp environments, as these conditions can cause fading or distortion of the material.
While faux mohair is cozy and stylish, it’s not recommended for wear in heavy rain. If it does get soaked, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing it near direct heat or in the sun, as this can harm the fabric. With mindful care, your faux mohair garments will remain soft, elegant, and wearable season after season.
COTTON
Our cotton items are perfect for warmer days, offering breathability and comfort while maintaining a timeless look. Lightweight yet durable, they are easy to style and ideal for effortless everyday wear. Whether layered or worn on their own, these pieces provide a soft and airy feel, making them a go-to choice for the season.
Our cotton items are designed to be washable, making them easy to care for with the right approach. For best results, we recommend hand washing them using a small amount of baby shampoo, which is gentle on the fabric. If you prefer to use a washing machine, opt for a delicate cycle at no more than 30°C and make sure to skip the spinning process, as this can stress the fibers.
After washing, avoid wringing out the garment, as this can distort its shape. Cotton jackets should be hung on a hanger and left to air dry for 24 to 48 hours, while cotton trousers are best laid flat on a laundry rack for the same drying period. It’s important not to dry your cotton items in direct sunlight, as this can lead to fading. For long-term care, store them in a cool, dark, and dry place to preserve their quality and appearance.
VISCOSE
Our viscose fabric is known for its soft, smooth texture and breathable qualities, making it a perfect choice for comfortable and lightweight garments. It drapes beautifully while offering a luxurious feel.
To keep your viscose pieces in the best possible condition, it’s important to handle them with care. While viscose items can be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 30°C, we recommend hand washing them with a mild liquid detergent for the gentlest and most effective treatment. After washing, avoid wringing out the fabric. Instead, gently squeeze out any excess water and lay the garment flat to dry, helping it maintain its shape and texture.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, artificial light, or moisture can impact the quality of the fabric, so it’s best to store and dry viscose items in a shaded, dry place. If ironing is necessary, be sure to use a low heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the garment to protect the fabric from direct heat and prevent damage. With thoughtful care, your viscose garments will stay soft, smooth, and beautiful for a long time.
TWEED
Tweed is a timeless and luxurious fabric, celebrated for its durability, warmth, and beautifully textured appearance. Often associated with classic tailoring and elegant outerwear, tweed has long been a favorite for those who appreciate both function and style. Because of its unique weave and rich fiber blend, caring for tweed requires a thoughtful approach to preserve its structure and refined look.
This fabric should never be washed in a machine, as water combined with the friction of a wash cycle can weaken the fibers, distort the shape, and compromise the integrity of the garment. Instead, tweed is best cared for through professional dry cleaning.
A specialist understands how to handle the fabric delicately, removing any stains or buildup without affecting the texture or form. With proper care and storage, your tweed pieces will maintain their elegance and longevity for many years, continuing to add a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe.
