Care guide
Handwoven and hand-finished pieces age beautifully when treated gently. Use this guide alongside each product’s care note.
General rule
Less water, less heat, more rest. Natural fibers recover shape when hung or laid flat between wears.
Storage
Keep dry, away from direct sun. Use cedar or lavender sachets. Fold heavy weaves instead of thin hangers.
When unsure
Professional dry clean with a note about embroidery, felt, or metallic trims. Never bleach.
By material
Pulu & heavy wool weaves
- Prefer professional dry clean; avoid machine wash
- Steam lightly from a distance if needed; do not press hard on the nap
- Brush dust with a soft clothes brush after travel
- Store folded with space to breathe; see Pulu materials
Felt
- Spot clean with a barely damp cloth; never soak
- Reshape while slightly damp and dry flat, away from radiators
- Brush gently in one direction to refresh the surface
- More in Felt materials
Embroidery
- Turn garment inside out for professional cleaning
- Do not iron directly on raised stitches — press from reverse with a cloth
- Avoid snagging jewelry against dense stitch fields
- See Embroidery materials
Silver & metal hardware
- Wipe after wear with a soft dry cloth
- Store dry; light natural tarnish can be polished gently
- Avoid perfume, chlorinated water, and harsh chemicals

- Roll for storage rather than sharp folds when possible
- Keep out of prolonged direct sun
- See Woven bands
Linen, cotton & light RTW
- Cool gentle wash when labeled washable; reshape while damp
- Low iron from reverse; accept natural crease as part of the cloth
- Hang to dry when possible
