Caring for our LoungewearUpdated a year ago

Is your loungewear delicate? 

Yes. Because this luxury fabrication is more delicate in nature, it will require extra care when wearing and laundering to maintain the integrity of the garment for years to come. We are so proud to offer a truly unique fabrication for our loungewear collection that is arguably the softest cotton we’ve ever felt. Our luxury, 100% Cotton Gauze is woven to order from locally-sourced Turkish cotton and designed specifically to feel light and breathable as though it were a second-skin. The weave is on the looser side so it affords this specialty textile the incredible drape and hand-feel that we are known for. 


How do I wash my loungewear pieces?

Hand-washing and hanging to dry is ideal for our loungewear. You can also use a garment bag and wash on a delicate setting in your washer. 


How do I wash Ecosatin pieces?

Washing on a delicate cycle with cold water in a laundry bag is recommended if hand washing is not realistic. Line dry only. 


Can I put my loungewear in dryer?

For our cotton or cotton/linen blend items you can tumble dry on a delicate setting however dryer usage can often contribute to a slight shrinkage of cotton and linen textiles so keep heat to a delicate setting. If you find that the dryer has caused shrinkage to your item, steaming your garment will often bring it back to its original size.

Please do not tumble dry your Ecosatin or Tencel fabrics.


Can I dry clean my loungewear?

Our cotton or linen loungewear items are dryclean friendly, however we do not recommend dry cleaning for our Tencel or Ecosatin fabrications. 


Help! I have a snag in my loungewear fabric!

Lay your garment flat and massage the snagged thread back into the weave by gently pulling it with your fingertips, first with the vertical grain and then with the horizontal grain until as much of the thread is pulled back into place. If there is a thread protruding at the surface you may simply snip that thread without fear of creating a hole. You may follow these steps by laundering your garment and running it through a gentle tumble-dry to tighten the fabrication and render the snag virtually invisible. Step-by-step tutorial here.
