DRY CLEANING

Due to the delicate nature of our garments, we strongly recommend a spot dry clean only as stated on our care labels. Spot dry clean requires the garment is only dry cleaned where spots or stains have occurred. This is to minimise the risk of the dyes in the fabrics bleeding and loosening of embellishments. If you must dry clean the entire garment, please seek an establishment that uses Green Earth Solutions product. This work best for delicate fabrics, as well as being a more sustainable solution to heavy chemicals.

These can be applied to your CAMILLA with fabric or craft glue if required.

CAMILLA CARE TIPS

Alterations

If you’d like to alter your CAMILLA we recommend taking it to a trusted tailor who has experience working with delicate silk.
We love to keep the fabric cut from the garment to use as a belt or scarf.

Pilling

Pilling is a natural occurrence of the woollen fibres. Avoid excessive use of fabric softeners, and turn knits inside out when washing.
If pilling does occur, remove by hand, with a comb or a de-piller.

Static

To prevent static, either lightly steam or spritz your garment with water from a misting bottle.
Alternatively use an anti-static spray.

Storing

Silk pieces should be hung on padded hangers, or stored in garment bags to preserve delicate fabrics.
Knits should be folded rather than hung to avoid stretching out of shape.
