Our Vintage Care
Knowing how to care for your vintage clothing is key - with the right instructions and a little TLC we can give them a longer lifespan.
Washing
Avoid the washing machine and the dryer - We advise to always hand wash or dry clean vintage garments, especially if they have been marked as delicate in their product description. Hand-washing and/or dry-cleaning/air-drying your tee’s will ensure better quality care. Also, using the washing machine and dryer uses less energy and water - yay.
Storage
We advise you to keep your vintage tee’s in a dry, dust-free place and away from any direct sunlight as it might cause fading and deterioration of the fabric.
