Care Instructions

Our silk thrives in water...

Hand Wash

• In a tub or basin,  prepare the water at cool temperature with minimum detergent, evenly distributed.
• Submerge your Nouvelle piece and 'dip-dip' or soak for 15 minutes if it needs more cleaning time.
• Rinse clean with plenty of water.
• Lightly pat dry or shake the water off.  To avoid unnecessary creasing-avoid wringing or squeezing.
• Hang or flat dry for a casual look.  Steam/iron for a more polished look.

• Prepare the cool water with a splash of detergent.
• Turn the piece inside out.  Use a washing bag or pillow case to protect the delicate fibers.
• A delicate cycle is preferred on a low spin setting.
• Take it out of the machine as soon as the cycle is complete to avoid wrinkling.  Shake it, shape it and lay it flat or hang.  (Note: the delicate straps of camisoles may stretch when hung).

Finish

• In a hurry- dress and go.
• Have time- steam or iron on medium heat to enhance the fiber's beautiful lustre.
