We design each OP item with 'forever' in mind, but to help make them last, here's some tips for caring for them.
All our Tana Lawn and Poplin garments are 100% cotton. These are mono-fibres, meaning it is ONLY made with cotton, a naturally occurring material, so it is breathable and does not always need to be washed after every wear.
We recommend airing out between wears, keeping the piece fresh whilst also reducing the number of times it needs washing - helping to reduce your carbon footprint too!
When the time comes, we recommend washing all our cotton goods at 30C and simply hang dry.
Our needlecord pieces are all made from 100% cotton, so it is breathable and does not need to be washed after every wear.
We recommend airing out between wears, keeping the piece fresh whilst also reducing the number of times it needs washing - helping to reduce your carbon footprint too!
When the time comes, we recommend washing your needlecord garment inside out and at 30C and simply hang dry.
All our dresses that we choose to make from silk are in a Crepe De Chine. This is a mono-fibre silk, meaning it is 100% Pure Silk.
Our silks are Dry Clean Only. However, to minimise the number of trips (and the impact on the environment) we recommend airing your silk dresses out in between wears to minimise the amount of dry cleaning needed.
Silk dresses can be spot cleaned, occasionally, for example under the arms, using cold water and a washing liquid specifically for delicates. Remove excess water with a clean towel and hang to dry.
We recommend the use of a 'Green' Dry Cleaners who will use non-toxic and sustainable alternatives to the traditional dry cleaning chemicals.
With our knitwear we really recommend airing your pieces before deciding to wash them.
When washing ALWAYS hand-wash. Please do not use 'hand-wash' cycle on the machine as we have had a few disasters with this. Do not even use the spin cycle as this has also caused issues.
We recommend cold handwashing, gently squeezing by hand and laying flat on a clean towel to dry (do not hang as the knits will stretch!).
Our pieces are made from natural fibres, which means over-time they will bobble, we recommend using a de-bobbler should this happen!
Our Frida Trousers and Janine Playsuit are made from a Liberty Print Cotton Drill. This means they are 95% Cotton and 5% Elastane, giving the items a little comfy stretch.
As always, we recommend airing your garments out to reduce the frequency of washing.
You can machine wash any of our garments made from cotton drill at 30C and then hang to dry.
