Care advice for natural fibre garments
Dry cleaing should be used sparingly. Even the finest fabrics will take on the telltale sheen eventually. To remove creases, follow this simple method: hang your garment on a hanger, place it in the bathroom when you take a shower. The water vapour will remove any creases instantly without damaging it.
Quality garments should never be worn on two consecutive days and should be placed carefully on a hangar for a day in a well ventilated room when not being worn.
