Wash it at home
Care and repair
Everything here is made to be washed at home. Nothing we sell requires dry cleaning except the pleated trouser, and even that is a preference rather than a rule.
Wash cool
30 °C is enough for everything on this rail. Hotter water does not clean cotton better; it shrinks it and it fades indigo.
Wash it inside out
Especially the denim and the indigo pieces. The abrasion happens on the outside face and that is where the colour lives.
Line dry
A tumble dryer is the single fastest way to shorten the life of a cotton garment. Line dry, and press while damp if you press at all.
Do not iron a seam flat
Press on the reverse with a cloth. A hot iron on the face of linen makes a shine you cannot get out.

We repair anything we made, for as long as it exists, whether you bought it new or second-hand and whether or not you can prove it. Bring it in. If we can mend it we will, and if we cannot we will say so rather than take it apart.
