Fabric Care Guidelines

How to care for your fabric:

• Like all treasures kept well, our fabrics won’t age – too much!
  

• We recommend cold hand wash or cold gentle machine wash, separately to other clothes, for all our fabrics. Then dry by hanging or lying flat.
  

• Linen is generally a very durable fabric, but for longevity we recommend treating it with care and love. Over time, the colours can fade due to wear.
  

• Pressing or ironing on a high heat is recommended to reduce line and crinkles in your outfit. 

• You can expect a small amount of shrinkage, as linen is a natural fibre. 
  
  

Like any natural fabrics, linen tends to shrink a little for the first few washes. Normally garment makers wash linen prior to cutting fabric to reduce further shrinkage. Linen from de Linum only shrinks by 2-3% if at all.
