Learn how to identify material types
Leather
Leather is a living material that matures with grace. Keep it away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent fading or warping. Use a soft, dry cloth for routine dusting and condition it with a high-quality leather cream to maintain suppleness. Store bags and shoes with shape-keeping inserts to preserve form.
Wool
Wool thrives with gentle care. Air out after wear to refresh naturally. Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent or opt for professional dry cleaning. Avoid hanging heavy wool garments to prevent stretching—fold instead, and store with cedar to deter moths.

Silk
Silk’s fragile fibers demand delicate attention. Hand wash in cold water with silk-friendly detergent or entrust to a specialist cleaner. Never wring; instead, blot gently with a towel and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Store in breathable fabric bags to maintain its sheen.

Viscose
Viscose drapes beautifully but requires thoughtful care. Dry clean when possible to preserve texture. If hand washing, use cool water and a gentle detergent. Reshape while damp and avoid twisting. Iron on a low setting with a protective cloth to avoid shine marks.

Satin
Satin’s smooth finish is best preserved through careful handling. Prefer dry cleaning for optimal results. For spot cleaning, dab gently with cold water—never rub. Store garments inside out to prevent surface snags and hang with padded hangers to maintain silhouette.

Linen
Linen’s natural charm lies in its effortless texture. Wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent and air dry to prevent shrinkage. Iron while slightly damp to achieve a smooth finish or embrace its relaxed, lived-in creases for a sophisticated, casual aesthetic.

Cotton
Even the most timeless fabrics deserve thoughtful care. To maintain cotton’s crispness and comfort, wash with cold water using a mild detergent to prevent fading and fiber wear. Air dry flat or tumble on low to preserve shape and softness. For a refined, polished finish, iron on medium heat while slightly damp. Proper care ensures cotton stays as fresh and elevated as the style it complements.
