🧵 Natural Fabrics

  • Machine wash cold or warm (30–40°C) on a gentle cycle
  • Use mild detergent — avoid bleach on colored cotton
  • Tumble dry low or air dry flat to prevent shrinkage
  • Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for best results
  • Store folded in a cool, dry place
💡 Tip: Wash dark cotton inside-out to preserve color vibrancy.

👉 Shop Cotton Collection

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30–40°C or hand wash
  • Use a gentle, pH-neutral detergent
  • Do not wring — gently squeeze out excess water
  • Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
  • Iron while damp on medium-high heat — linen loves steam
  • Linen softens beautifully with each wash
⚠️ Avoid: High heat drying — linen can shrink significantly.

👉 Shop Linen Collection

  • Hand wash in cold water or use a wool/delicate machine cycle (max 30°C)
  • Use a specialist wool detergent — never regular detergent
  • Do not wring or twist — gently press water out
  • Dry flat on a clean towel, reshape while damp
  • Never tumble dry — wool felts and shrinks with heat
  • Store folded (not hung) to prevent stretching; use cedar blocks to deter moths
💡 Tip: Air wool garments between wears — wool is naturally self-cleaning and odor-resistant.

👉 Shop Wool & Cashmere Collection

  • Hand wash only in cold water with a specialist cashmere shampoo
  • Soak for 5 minutes, gently agitate, rinse thoroughly
  • Never wring — roll in a clean towel to absorb moisture
  • Dry flat, away from heat and sunlight
  • Store folded in a breathable cotton bag with cedar blocks
  • Pilling is normal — use a cashmere comb to remove gently
⚠️ Never: Hang cashmere — it will stretch and lose its shape permanently.

👉 Shop Cashmere Collection

  • Hand wash in cold water with a gentle silk-specific detergent
  • Never rub or wring — gently swish and rinse
  • Roll in a clean towel to remove excess water
  • Hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight (sun fades silk)
  • Iron on the lowest setting, inside-out, while slightly damp
  • Dry clean recommended for structured silk garments
💡 Tip: A splash of white vinegar in the rinse water restores silk's natural sheen.
  • Dry clean recommended to preserve pattern integrity and structure
  • If hand washing: cold water, wool detergent, gentle press — no wringing
  • Dry flat, reshape while damp
  • Steam rather than iron to avoid flattening the weave texture
  • Store folded with cedar blocks

👉 Shop Plaid & Tartan Collection

🧴 Animal-Derived & Specialty Fabrics

  • Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent — never machine wash on high spin
  • Do not wring — gently squeeze and shake to restore fluffiness
  • Air dry only — never tumble dry or use direct heat
  • Once dry, brush gently with a soft-bristle brush to restore texture
  • Store hanging in a cool, ventilated space — avoid compression
⚠️ Avoid: Ironing directly on faux fur — it will melt synthetic fibers. Steam from a distance only.
  • Wash with sulfate-free shampoo in lukewarm water — never hot
  • Condition after every wash with a moisturizing conditioner
  • Detangle gently from ends to roots using a wide-tooth comb before washing
  • Air dry on a wig stand — avoid blow-drying on high heat
  • Use heat protectant spray before any heat styling
  • Store on a wig stand or in a silk bag to prevent tangling
  • Avoid sleeping in extensions to prevent matting
💡 Tip: Human hair can be colored and heat-styled like natural hair — but less frequently to preserve longevity.

👜 Leather & Vegan Leather

  • Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth — never soak
  • Use a leather conditioner every 3–6 months to prevent cracking
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources — leather fades and dries out
  • Store in a dust bag or pillowcase, stuffed to maintain shape
  • For stains: use a specialist leather cleaner — never household cleaners
  • Allow leather to dry naturally if it gets wet — never use a hairdryer
💡 Tip: A light coat of colorless shoe polish maintains leather's luster on bags and wallets.

👉 Shop RFID Leather Wallets | Shop Purses

  • Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap — rinse with a clean damp cloth
  • Avoid alcohol-based cleaners — they degrade the coating
  • Store away from heat and sunlight to prevent peeling
  • Do not fold sharply — store flat or hanging to avoid crease lines
  • Apply a vegan leather conditioner periodically to maintain flexibility

💍 Jewelry — Metals

  • Clean with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and sweat
  • For deeper cleaning: warm water + a drop of mild dish soap, soft brush, rinse and pat dry
  • Remove before swimming, showering, exercising, or applying perfume/lotion
  • Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching
  • Gold-plated pieces: avoid abrasive cloths — they wear away the plating
⚠️ Avoid: Chlorine, saltwater, and harsh chemicals — they strip gold plating rapidly.

👉 Shop Jewelry Sets | Shop Wedding Jewelry

  • Polish regularly with a silver polishing cloth to prevent tarnish
  • For tarnished pieces: soak in warm water + baking soda paste, gently rub, rinse well
  • Store in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch when not wearing
  • Remove before swimming, cleaning, or applying beauty products
  • Wearing silver regularly actually slows tarnishing — skin oils help!
💡 Tip: A piece of chalk or silica gel in your jewelry box absorbs moisture and slows tarnish.
  • Clean with a soft cloth dampened with lemon juice + salt, then rinse thoroughly
  • Dry completely before storing — moisture accelerates oxidation
  • Apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to the inside of rings to prevent skin discoloration
  • Store in a dry, airtight container
  • Natural patina (darkening) is normal and can be embraced as character — or polished away

💎 Jewelry — Gemstones & Pearls

  • Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after every wear — pearls absorb perfume, sweat, and oils
  • Never use ultrasonic cleaners, steam, or harsh chemicals on pearls
  • Apply perfume and hairspray before putting on pearls — never after
  • Store flat in a soft cloth pouch — never in an airtight container (pearls need slight humidity)
  • Have pearl strands re-strung every 1–2 years if worn regularly
  • Keep away from other jewelry to prevent scratching — pearls are soft (Mohs 2.5–4.5)
💡 Tip: The rule of thumb — pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

👉 Shop Genuine Pearls | Shop All Pearls

  • Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth — dry immediately
  • Never use ultrasonic cleaners, alcohol, or acetone — amber is organic and will dissolve
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure — amber can darken and become brittle
  • Store in a soft pouch away from other jewelry (amber scratches easily, Mohs 2–2.5)
  • Apply a tiny drop of olive oil occasionally to restore luster — buff with a soft cloth

👉 Shop Amber Jewelry

  • Hard stones (Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire — Mohs 9+): Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and pat dry.
  • Medium stones (Amethyst, Topaz, Garnet — Mohs 7–8): Warm soapy water, soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for included stones.
  • Soft/porous stones (Opal, Turquoise, Malachite — Mohs under 6): Wipe only with a dry soft cloth. Never soak. Keep away from chemicals and perfume.
  • Remove all gemstone jewelry before swimming, cleaning, or exercising
  • Store each piece separately to prevent scratching between stones
💡 Tip: Have gemstone settings checked by a jeweler annually to ensure stones are secure.
  • Wipe metal parts with a soft dry cloth after use
  • For crystal or rhinestone pieces: use a dry soft brush to remove dust — avoid water on glued stones
  • Store in a box with padding to prevent bending or stone loss
  • Keep away from hairspray and styling products — apply products before wearing

👉 Shop Tiaras

🪨 Wood & Natural Organic Materials

  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth
  • Clean spills immediately — water left on wood causes warping and staining
  • Use a wood-specific cleaner or a lightly damp cloth with mild soap — dry immediately
  • Apply wood conditioner or beeswax polish every 3–6 months to nourish and protect
  • Keep away from direct sunlight (fading), radiators, and air conditioning vents (cracking)
  • Use coasters and placemats to prevent heat and moisture rings
💡 Tip: A small humidifier near wooden furniture prevents cracking in dry climates.

👉 Shop Living Room | Shop Tableware

  • Hand wash with warm soapy water for decorative pieces — avoid dishwasher for hand-painted ceramics
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes — thermal shock can crack ceramics and glass
  • Store with padding between pieces to prevent chipping
  • For glass vases: use a bottle brush and mild detergent to clean inside
  • Remove mineral deposits with a white vinegar soak

👉 Shop Ceramics & Glass | Shop Vases & Planters

🌸 Beauty & Fragrance Products

  • Store in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat — both degrade fragrance molecules
  • Keep in the original bottle — avoid transferring to other containers
  • Do not store in the bathroom — humidity and temperature fluctuations break down scent
  • Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) on moisturized skin for longer wear
  • Do not rub wrists together after applying — it crushes the top notes
💡 Tip: Apply fragrance before putting on jewelry — alcohol in perfume can damage pearls and metals.

👉 Shop Fragrance & Perfume

  • Always burn incense in a well-ventilated room on a heat-resistant holder
  • Never leave burning incense unattended
  • Store incense sticks in a cool, dry place in their original packaging or an airtight container
  • Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve scent potency

👉 Shop Incense & Scents

🤖 Tech & Electronics

  • Clean lenses with a microfiber cloth only — never paper towels or clothing
  • Use lens cleaning solution designed for coated lenses
  • Store in the provided hard case when not in use
  • Keep away from extreme heat (car dashboards, direct sun) — can warp frames and damage electronics
  • Charge with the provided cable only — third-party chargers may damage battery
  • Keep away from water unless rated waterproof — check product specifications
