How to take care of your linen clothing?
Linen is a noble, natural and vegetable fiber, appreciated for its exceptional breathability, its authentic texture and its relaxed summer elegance. Although linen fibers are robust, they lack natural elasticity: appropriate washing, gentle drying and careful ironing are therefore essential to preserve its fluid drape, soften it and prevent the fabric from becoming fragile.
Wash & Rinse
Wash your piece at 40°C maximum on a delicate cycle. Use a mild, liquid detergent, and strictly avoid chlorine or harsh bleaching agents, which weaken the linen fiber and dull the colors.
A thorough rinse in cold water is the secret to removing all detergent residue, ensuring that the fabric remains perfectly breathable and does not become rough.
Drying & Shape
Always let linen dry naturally, hanging on a hanger or flat, in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct, scorching sun, which excessively dries the fibers and makes them brittle.
Ironing is ideal to reveal its beauty. Iron the garment while it is still slightly damp at high temperature, or use a powerful steam iron. Iron dark linen on the reverse side to avoid shiny reflections.
The small gestures that make the difference
Never wring the linen vigorously to wring it out, otherwise it will create creases that are very difficult to remove.
Avoid tumble drying on high heat; if necessary, use a short, gentle cycle to relax the fibers, then finish in the open air
Always hang your linen shirts, dresses and blazers on wide hangers to avoid distorting the shoulders
Store your items in a dry, dark place, avoiding plastic covers which retain moisture and cause the fiber to yellow
