Understanding the unique properties of each fabric and knowing how to care for them properly ensures your garments stay beautiful and last a lifetime. Here’s a comprehensive guide to caring for some of the exquisite fabrics we use in our collections.

Satin

About Satin:

Satin is a luxurious fabric known for its glossy surface and elegant drape. Made from silk, polyester, or a blend of fibers, satin is often used in evening wear, lingerie, and accessories due to its smooth texture and beautiful sheen.

Care Instructions:

1. Washing:

Hand Wash: The best method for cleaning satin is by hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent.

Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, place the garment in a mesh laundry bag and use the delicate cycle with cold water.

2. Drying:

Air Dry: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and roll it up to remove excess water. Unroll and reshape the garment, then lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight.

Avoid: Do not wring or twist the fabric, and avoid using a tumble dryer.

3. Ironing:

Low Heat: Iron on the reverse side using the lowest heat setting. Place a cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent direct contact.

4. Storage:

Hang: Store satin garments on padded hangers to maintain their shape and avoid creases.

Polyester
