Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the intricate craftsmanship and structural integrity of your one-of-one garment, please follow these care guidelines. These pieces are designed to celebrate the "wavy" texture of the cloth through artisanal fabric manipulation and require gentle handling.
HANDLING THE TEXTURE - NO IRONING REQUIRED:
The signature smocking technique is naturally resilient. We recommend skipping the iron entirely, as direct heat and pressure will flatten the three-dimensional silhouette.
Washing and Drying
Washing and Drying
WASHING & DRYING:
• Hand Wash Only: Gently submerge in cool water with a mild, delicate detergent. Do not scrub, wring, or soak for extended periods.
• Flat Dry: Lay the piece flat on a clean towel in a shaded area. Reshape the smocking manually while damp to ensure it dries in its intended form.
• Do Not Tumble Dry: Machine drying will damage the hand-stitched tension and delicate fibers.
SUSTAINABLE CARE:
By opting to hand wash and forgo ironing, you extend the life of these artisanal techniques while significantly reducing energy consumption.
