Natural fabrics
Dear Costumer, all garments bought from our store, contain natural fibers, and may need special care. In treatment,
please follow the instructions marked on the carelabel of your garment.
Wool:
It shrinks when washed at excessive temperature. It deforms when spun dry or vertically hung.
It becomes moth-eaten if an adequate treatment is not used.
Cotton:
It shrinks when washed with excessively hot water. Stands up to ironing. Dyed and printed cotton must be washed separately the first time.
Linen:
It must never be spun dry. It does not withstand extreme temperatures, but stands up well to ironing.
