Lingerie and Swimwear Fabric Care - The Way to keep your treasures for longer

Fine lingerie Care
Since we want to be sure that you will treasure your fine lingerie for years to come.

  • We highly recommend hand washing with mild soap.
    Never use bleach on your lingerie.
  • Machine washing may be too harsh on delicate embroideries and hooks may snag intricate laces. Hang to dry or reshape and dry flat.
  • Please do not dry your lingerie in the dryer, this may cause the delicate fabric and lace to degrade and damage the detailing of your bra.
  • For our silk nightgowns and chemises it may be necessary to pat out excess water, using a clean towel and iron on reverse side while slightly damp.

Special Care Tips for Silk Lingerie
Only pre-washed silk is washable. Read the label!
Very Gentle care is required to preserve a silk garment.

  • Hand wash in cool water, use a mild soap. Strong detergents weaken the silk fibre.
  • Wash each garment separately as dyes may bleed.
  • Silk is heat sensitive and will subject to fading and bleeding colours, do not soak silk or dry with heat.
  • Handle silk garments gently. After thorough rinsing, roll the item in a clean bath towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Dry flat.
  • Low heat iron can be used. Use a towel between silk and iron so no heat damage occurs.
  • For specific instruction, always refer to the garments sewn- in care label.
  • Silk is special. The care you give your silk garments will repay you in a prolonged garment life.

Swimwear Care

  • Garments containing Lycra should not be worn in the Jacuzzi, sauna, hot tub or highly chlorinated pools. We would suggest that an older garment is used as an alternative.
  • Always rinse in cool water immediately after use.
  • Hand wash separately with a mild detergent and do not use fabric conditioner.
  • Wash your suits separately until any excess dye washes out.
  • Dry away from direct heat.
  • Do not wring, bleach, tumble dry or iron.
  • Avoid excessive contact with the suntan lotions and oils.
  • Do not leave wet swimwear rolled up
  • Follow the washing guidelines supplied with each garment
  • Most bright coloured suits will fade in the sun. You can slow this down by soaking your new suit in a mixture of vinegar and water for 30 minutes. (1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 quart of water)
  • Use extra caution with holographic and metallic fabrics, they are very delicate. The metallic will eventually wear off. These suits are for show only.
  • Never: bleach your suit, put it in the dryer, iron it, or wash it with whites.
  • Do not sit on abrasive objects (sit on a towel when at the pool or on a boat.)
