Welcome to the most essential part of fashion
Surprisingly, the greatest environmental impact of a garment is not in its production, transport or disposal but in the way it's cared for.
Different care for different materials

Linen
Linen can be washed up to 40ºC, but we recommend you keep it at 30ºC or less. These garments are quick-drying and can be tumble-dried and ironed (when damp). However, as you may know, they're not wrinkle-resistant, which is part of their charm anyway.

Cotton
Cotton items can be washed up to 40ºC when coloured, but remember the golden rule: if it isn't that dirty, keep the temperature cool and consider wearing it a few more times before washing it. These kinds of garments dry slowly, so always keep them flat while doing it, so they don't lose their beautiful shape. Cotton can be ironed at high temperatures, but make sure that the piece is damp before doing it, ok?

Lyocell / Tencel
Lyocell can be washed up to 40ºC and be tumble dried in low temperatures, but, no matter what happened in your day, do not bleach the poor thing. We always recommend lining dry or hanging dry for a crease-free fabric (bonus points for colour protection - dry it in the shade). When ironing, always do it with the garment inside-out, unless you want a super shiny fabric.

Wool
Rule #1: do not wash your wool garments every time you wear them, ok? Just hang it outside the house or in a damp bathroom, because wool cleans itself to some extent. In any case, when washing, do it with special care - by hand or in a special wool machine program. Do not tumble dry wool garments (they didn’t do anything to deserve it), always hang them flat in the shade so they don't lose their original shape.

Polyester
Be aware that when you wash anything made from synthetics - even recycled stuff or mixed fibres - tiny bits of microfibres are shed, leading to plastic pollution. We only use polyester in pieces that require little to no washing. To solve the problem, we recommend you use the awesome GuppyFriend bag to capture the microfibers.
