Garment Care
Washing and Drying
Always follow the washing guideline instructions on the label. To avoid any shrinkage do not wash your garment on a higher temperature than stated on the care label. Where possible, garments should be washed inside out. If your garment has no visible stains, you can wash at a lower temperature.
When drying your garment, please ensure you follow the wash care guideline stated on the label. Some of our garments cannot be tumble dried as this can cause shrinkage.

Chemicals
When caring for your garments, avoid contact with chemicals such as bleaching agents and softeners. Equally, avoid contact with perfumes and hairsprays as well as similar products.
Ironing
Ironing at temperatures that are too high can result in unwanted shine marks on matte fabrics.
Protect your garments by turning the heat down on your iron, turn the garment inside out when ironing or even cover the fabric with a damp towel before ironing.
