Wovens, Dresses, Tops & Bottoms
For garments featuring embroidery, appliqué, delicate trims, or specialty fabrics, we recommend professional dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cold water.
Lay flat to dry and avoid heat, excessive agitation, or tumble drying to help preserve the integrity of the garment.
Cotton Wovens & Printed Fabrics
Most cotton dresses, tops, and bottoms can be machine washed on a gentle cold cycle.
For best results, reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry.
Tees
We recommend that you either dry clean or hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the material and the life of this product.
Alpaca is one of nature's most remarkable fibers. It's naturally soft, breathable, durable, odor-resistant, and exceptionally warm without feeling heavy.
Unlike many fibers, alpaca doesn't need frequent washing. Often, simply airing your sweater out is enough to refresh it.
How to Care for Alpaca
When your sweater is ready for cleaning:
You may also choose to dry clean your alpaca knitwear.
Never hang wet knitwear, tumble dry, or expose it to high heat, as this can affect the shape and longevity of the garment.
A Note on Pilling
Natural fibers may develop light pilling during the first few wears. This is completely normal and not a sign of poor quality.
Pills can be easily removed using a sweater comb or fabric shaver. In most cases, pilling decreases significantly after the initial wears.
Why We Love Cotton Knits
Our cotton sweaters are designed to be worn on repeat.
We love cotton for its breathability, softness, and versatility across seasons. Unlike heavier wool sweaters, cotton knitwear transitions beautifully from spring through fall and layers effortlessly year-round.
Many of our best-selling cardigans and pullovers are crafted from specialty cotton yarns and knit constructions designed to hold their shape and wear beautifully over time.
How to Care for Cotton Knitwear
Dry Clean Recommended
We recommend dry cleaning our cotton sweaters and knitwear to help maintain their shape, texture, and overall appearance.
While cotton is a durable natural fiber, specialty knit constructions can stretch or lose their shape when repeatedly machine washed.
A little extra care helps these pieces stay beautiful season after season.
If you choose to wash at home:
Do not tumble dry.
Store With Care
Like all knitwear, we recommend storing cotton sweaters folded rather than hanging. Hanging can cause natural fibers to stretch over time and may affect the shape of the garment.
We often work with natural fibers, specialty textiles, artisan details, and custom-developed fabrics.
