Garment Care

Silk garments or garments with silk overlays:

Please hand wash all silk garments in cold water.
Do not twist or wring out water with your hands, rather lay the garment on a dry bath towel and slowly roll it up to draw the water out. Then hang to dry.
You can use a warm iron to gently press out creasing. For jackets just be aware that there is a lining underneath so be sure to press both the lining and outer garment together.
Silk garments can be dry cleaned but it is not necessary as the material has been pre-washed in cold water before being sewn.

Stain treatment:

Cottons, Denims, Tencels, Linen, Rayons, and Synthetic fibers - a warm water paste with enzymatic cleaner like oxiclean will remove soil, blood, food, and other plant/human/animal stains. Apply paste, wait 5 - 10 minutes, rinse with cold water, then launder according to instructions above.
Silks and wools - immediately flush stain with cold water and blot with a clean white cloth, repeat 2-3 times. If the item is still stained, use diluted dish soap (1 part soap, 10 parts cold-lukewarm water) for food-based, soil or sweat stains, gently apply soapy water and blot stain. Flush with cold water. Be careful not to rub or agitate the garment fibers as this can stretch, shrink or distort the material.
