CARE & MAINTENANCE
All vintage and pre-loved items have been laundered and/or repaired as needed.
For cottons & denim we recommend washing on cold and laying or hanging flat to dry.
For silks, linens and more delicate vintage tees, we recommend either hand-washing, or washing on delicate ( in a front loader machine ) and carefully hanging to dry/shape.
For wool - these items may be spot treated, or left to air out in the sun. When needed, we recommend washing on a wool cycle with wool detergent, or by hand - carefully rinsing and laying flat to shape/dry.
For all Beanies and hand-knit items - please refer to our full care page here
