Mediterranean Laundry

100% Cotton & Cotton Blends

Used in most t-shirts, dresses, tops, and select knitwear

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C max) with similar colours. Turn inside out to protect prints and finishes.
  • Drying: Air dry flat or hang to preserve shape.
  • Ironing: Iron on medium heat while slightly damp. For silk or puff prints, iron inside out.
  • Note: Prewashed and stonewashed pieces are designed to soften further with wear.

100% Linen & Linen Blends

Used in shirts and lightweight tops

  • Washing: Machine wash cold or hand wash. Linen softens beautifully over time.
  • Drying: Air dry. Remove while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles.
  • Ironing: Iron on high heat while damp for a crisp finish, or embrace the natural texture.
  • Storage: Hang or fold loosely to allow fabric to breathe.

100% Viscose & Viscose Blends

Used in select dresses, tops, and trousers

  • Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle in a mesh bag.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Ironing: Iron on low heat inside out, or steam gently.
  • Care: Viscose is delicate, avoid wringing or twisting.

100% Modal

Used in select women's tops

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on gentle cycle.
  • Drying: Air dry. Modal resists shrinkage and pilling.
  • Ironing: Rarely needed. If required, use low heat.

Wool, Alpaca & Mohair Blends

Used in knitwear, cardigans, turtlenecks, and jumpers

  • Washing: Hand wash cold with wool-safe detergent, or dry clean for best results.
  • Drying: Lay flat on a towel to dry. Never hang, this stretches the fibers.
  • Storage: Fold and store with natural moth repellent (cedar, lavender).
  • Pilling: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb.

Acrylic & Polyester Blends

Used in select jackets, hoodies, and knitwear

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on gentle cycle.

Care Symbols Guide

 

Jewelry Care: Bronze, Silver, Brass & Copper

Handcrafted pieces with oxidised and enamel finishes

  • Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
  • Oxidised finishes: The darkened patina is intentional. Avoid polishing agents that remove oxidation.
  • Enamel: Handle with care. Avoid impact or harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably in individual pouches to prevent scratching.
  • Avoid: Water, perfumes, lotions, and chlorine can damage metal and enamel.

General Tips for Longevity

  • Wash only when necessary, airing garments between wears extends their life.
  • Use eco-friendly, gentle detergents without harsh chemicals.
  • Repair small issues promptly: a loose thread today prevents unraveling tomorrow.
  • Store garments in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Rotate your wardrobe to reduce wear on individual pieces.

Quality craftsmanship deserves thoughtful care. These pieces are designed to last, treat them well, and they'll remain part of your story for years to come.
