Nathan Shorts, City Forest Green

Cashmere is an exquisitely soft and delicate fibre with natural loft and crimp. It deserves extra care and attention.

• Turn garments inside-out
• Gently hand wash in lukewarm water (max 30°C) with a wool detergent
• Soak for 5 minutes, gently squeeze (never rub or twist), then rinse in warm water followed by cold water
• Optional: add a small amount of fabric softener
• Remove excess water by pressing between clean towels or using a short machine spin — never wring!
• Reshape while damp and dry flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight or heat

• Dry clean sparingly (about once per season) to avoid fibre damage or a glazed appearance
• Never bleach

• Always wash before seasonal storage
• Store folded with cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths

Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and slightly more robust than cashmere, so it requires less frequent washing.

• Follow the same steps as for cashmere

• Only if the care label permits
• Use a delicate/wool cycle at 30°C with wool detergent

• Only occasionally; over-dry cleaning can damage fibres

• Wash before storing
• Keep folded with cedar or lavender for moth protection

We use the finest organic cotton for our basics and jersey pieces. It’s strong, silky and naturally breathable.

• Use cool to warm water (never hot) to avoid shrinking or fading
• Avoid fabric softener as it can dull the fabric’s finish

• Wash on a cool cycle (30°C or below) with similar colours
• Do not use fabric softener
• Remove promptly to reduce creasing

• Air-dry or tumble dry on low heat
• Reshape while damp to avoid ironing, or follow care label if ironing is needed

• Hang where possible, or fold neatly in a breathable, dust-free space
• Use cotton garment bags for long-term storage

We adore linen for its light, luxurious texture and effortless charm. Its natural creases are part of its character.

• Especially recommended for embroidered pieces
• Soak in warm water with mild detergent (up to 2 hours)
• Rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze out water, and reshape

• Use a low-medium temperature
• Wash similar colours together
• Avoid overloading the machine to reduce creasing
• Remove promptly, straighten and gently stretch to shape

• Air-dry flat or on a line
• Avoid tumble drying (high heat may cause shrinkage and permanent creasing)

• Iron while slightly damp on high heat for a crisp finish
• Use a pressing cloth and iron from the reverse side to protect embroidery

• Store in a cool, dry place, folded or hung
• Avoid plastic bags or cardboard boxes
• Linen is naturally insect-resistant; simply air or refresh when needed

• Always read your garment’s care label first — it’s there for a reason
• Wash less often: airing garments out can refresh them without washing
• Handle embroidery and embellishments with extra care
• Love your clothes, and they’ll last beautifully
