Care
Our pieces are often heavily embellished and are created using many different fabrics and materials, so we understand it can be hard to know how to care for your piece and ensure it has longevity and wears well.
Please check out our list of care information below and feel free to contact us should you have any questions in regards to care for your specific piece!
And, as always, remember that the most important part of care is wearing your piece. We believe that wear and age give a piece personality and life.
Leather/ Bladed Leather
Leather is a wonderful, natural material that can be resilient and often improves with age but must be cleaned with care to ensure its longevity. As such, it is important to try to avoid subjecting your leather piece to extensive heat, humidity, water, or chemicals as all these may damage the integrity of your piece.
For light soiling or spot treatments, dampen a clean cloth and gently rub it across the
area to remove the stain. Make sure to air out your piece between wears and do not machine wash.
For cleaning, we recommend taking the
piece to a specialist dry cleaner that has experience with leather cleaning. Some leathers may require a spot test to ensure treatment does not remove the finish.
The most important part of leather care is wearing your piece! Leather ages beautifully, giving a piece personality and life the more its worn. Don’t be afraid of natural leather age! Our pieces are designed with aging in mind!

Linen/ Cotton
Natural textiles such as linen or cotton are beautiful, breathable fabrics, but can be prone to shrinkage, shedding, and discolouration if not cared for correctly. As such, it is important to try to avoid subjecting your piece to extensive heat, or harsh chemicals as all these may damage the integrity.
For cleaning, we recommend hand washing your piece in cold water with a gentle laundry detergent and hang-dry for best results. An iron may be used at a medium setting. If you must machine wash, do so on a delicate cycle in cold water and hang
dry. Do not use bleach.
