Cotton is a natural material, very pleasant against the skin. A great ally if you are looking for year-round comfort.

We only use GOTS-certified cotton, recycled cotton, or cotton from rolls of conventional cotton unearthed in the deadstock of major French luxury houses.

Cotton is generally easy to look after: it holds its shape, without stretching or shrinking.

WASHING

100% cotton pieces can be machine washed with similar colours, preferably on the delicate cycle.

Check that the temperature is set to 30°C maximum and that the spin is low. Do not overload your machine.

Use a gentle, eco-friendly detergent and avoid adding fabric softener or stain remover, which can alter the colour.

To remove stubborn stains, rub gently with soap and water before washing.

DRYING

To dry your cotton piece, hang it in the open air, away from direct sunlight.

IRONING

Iron your cotton piece inside out while it is still damp, with your iron on a low temperature.

PLEASE NOTE

Lined cotton jackets and coats cannot be machine washed. Dry cleaning is best.

Wool is thermoregulating and self-cleaning. It is a naturally odour-resistant, breathable fibre that creases very little.
You will not always need to wash your wool piece after wearing it. Fresh air is your best ally.

Wool crepe and our wool knitwear need particular care — see below.

WASHING

If your machine has a wool / delicate programme, and if — and only if — you have already used that programme on other 100% wool pieces, you can machine wash your wool piece with similar colours (temperature 20°C, spin 400-500 rpm).
Make sure to put your garment in a protective bag and to use a gentle detergent or a wool detergent.
Avoid harsh chemicals or stain removers, which can alter the colour.

If that is not the case, or if you are unsure, wash your piece by hand in your bath or a basin of lukewarm water. Let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes without rubbing, then rinse it in cold water.

DRYING

Dry your wool piece flat on a clean towel.

IRONING

Do not iron your wool piece — steam the creases out instead.

On top of all the qualities of wool, wool crepe is known for its elasticity, which comes from the twist of the fibres and gives it a very particular handle.

WASHING

Wool crepe is a particularly lovely material to wear, but delicate to wash.
Since it does not hold odours and creases very little, you will not need to wash your piece often. Fresh air is your best friend. Hang your piece away from the sun and it will freshen right up.

If needed, take your piece to the dry cleaner.

IRONING

Steam the creases out of your piece. Avoid ironing it: wool crepe is sensitive to heat.

WASHING

Wash your wool and cashmere knits in the machine or by hand in lukewarm water.
Put your jumper inside out in a protective net. Select the cold programme (20°) with no spin.

Never use fabric softener, and go for gentle detergents.

DRYING

We strongly advise against hanging your knits to dry. When it is soaked with water, wool can become very heavy, stretching the fibres and pulling the jumper out of shape.
Instead, roll your piece in a clean towel and press lightly to absorb the excess water. Reshape the garment by pulling it gently, and dry it flat.

IRONING

Do not iron your knits — use a steamer to smooth them instead.

PILLING

Pilling is a natural phenomenon and in no way a sign of poor quality.

If pills appear where the fabric has rubbed, we would suggest removing them gently with a pilling comb.
You can also add a little white vinegar to your rinse water.

TIPS

Do not hang your knits on a hanger — it can pull the garment out of shape.

Sometimes a small thread works its way loose from your jumper. Do not panic. Gently pull the loose thread through to the inside of the garment and tie a knot in it. Do not cut the thread.

Linen is a natural fibre: thermoregulating, biodegradable, breathable and, like wool, antibacterial.

It is a local fibre (it grows in Belgium and in the north of France, what else?) and an eco-responsible one, lovely to wear all year round.

Linen gets softer with every wash: give it all your love and it will give it back for years.

WASHING

100% linen pieces can be machine washed, preferably on the delicate cycle.

Check that the temperature is set to 30°C maximum and that the spin is low. Avoid adding fabric softener and do not overload your machine.

DRYING

To dry your linen piece, hang it in the open air, away from direct sunlight.

IRONING

Iron your linen piece inside out while it is still damp, with your iron on a low temperature.

Silk is a natural fibre with a low environmental impact. It is a delicate material, at once strong, thermoregulating, fluid and soft.

The silk we work with is produced in the Lake Como region of Italy, or comes from the deadstock of major French luxury houses.

WASHING

Silk is a delicate material, especially when wet. If the label allows it, we recommend washing your silk pieces by hand (by actual hand, not by hand-wash programme). If it does not, always go for dry cleaning.

Immerse your silk piece in your bath or a basin of lukewarm water. Use a small amount of gentle detergent and do not rub your silk piece. Do not let it soak for too long, and rinse it in clear, cold water.

DRYING

Dry your silk piece in the open air, away from the sun.

IRONING

Iron your silk piece while still damp, inside out, with the iron on a low temperature.

TIPS

Avoid spraying perfume or deodorant on or around the garment — it can leave marks and stains.

When hanging your silk pieces, avoid wooden hangers. Velvet hangers are kinder to the fibre.
