To keep your treasured upcycled garment looking its best, please note that it requires extra care. Please take this into consideration before making a purchase.
Wool textiles have good, natural water-repellent properties, making them easy to clean with a slightly damp cloth. This product must be dry cleaned.
Fresh Air: Allowing your garment to hang outdoors in the fresh air once in a while can breathe new life into it.
Both the åkle and the GU fabric are suitable for ironing.
Store with Love: When not in use, store your garment with love in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
