How to Care for Luxury Fabrics

Luxury fabrics such as wool, cashmere, mohair, silk, and leather require special attention to maintain their beauty and longevity. Understanding the proper care techniques ensures your garments remain soft, resilient, and timeless.

General Care Principles

1. Air Between Wears – Most natural fibers need less washing than synthetic fabrics.

2. Gentle Cleaning – Use specialized detergents and avoid harsh chemicals.

3. Proper Storage – Fold knitwear, hang structured jackets on padded hangers, and store silk in breathable bags.

4. Avoid Heat Damage – Direct sunlight, radiators, and tumble dryers can degrade natural fibers.

Fabric-Specific Care Tips

Wool & Mohair

• Brush lightly, air garments, and wash infrequently in cold water.

Cashmere

• Hand wash, dry flat, and allow garments to rest between wears.

Silk

• Use cold water and pH-neutral detergent, dry flat or hang in shade, and avoid twisting or wringing.

Leather

• Wipe clean with a soft cloth, condition occasionally, store in breathable bags, and avoid water exposure.

Longevity Equals Sustainability

Proper care extends the life of garments for decades. Each well-maintained piece reduces waste and the need for replacement, aligning luxury with ethical responsibility.
