HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR GARMENTS:

We handcraft our items right here in Brisbane, Australia. Some designs may vary be slightly different as they are made to order, by hand.

To ensure you get the best life from your garments here are some handy tips on washing and caring for your garments.

COTTON GARMENTS:

Washing

Cotton can be machine washed on a gentle cycle or hand washed. It is best to avoid fabric softeners as this can dull the colour of your garment over time.

Water Temp

Cotton garments are best washed in cold or warm water to prevent shrinkage and fading. Take extra care when washing in hot water as this can cause it to shrink.

Drying

Cotton fabric can either be air dried or machine dried on a low heat cycle. High heat can cause fibres to shrink.

Ironing

Cotton is very prone to creasing so it is often necessary to iron your garment to regain the original shape and size. Iron the garment on a mid to low temperature using steam only when required and it's best to iron your garment inside-out.

POLYESTER GARMENTS:

Washing

Most polyester fabrics are machine washable on a cold delicate setting but always be sure to check the care label first.

Water Temp

Polyester is best to be washed on a cold delicate or warm setting.

Drying

Polyester can be tumble dried on a cool setting or low heat. Remove from dryer while slightly damp and line dry in shade to avoid any wrinkles or static build up.

Ironing

Polyester garments usually will not shrink due to the nature of their fibres. If washed and dried on high heat, it can cause the garment to shrink slightly. Warm steam iron inside out to regain original shape and size.

General

Always follow the care label instructions on your garment as a mix of fibre contents may need additional care to the above.
