Fur Care Instructions
- Avoid Washing or Soaking: Never wash fur or immerse it in water, as this can damage the fibers and alter the fur’s luxurious texture.
- Do Not Dry-Clean: Regular dry cleaning methods can harm fur. Please refrain from taking your fur items to conventional dry cleaners; specialized cleaning is required.
- No Ironing: To avoid irreversible damage, such as flattening and burning of the fibers, do not use an iron on fur.
- Keep Away from Heat: Protect your fur from exposure to flames and extreme heat sources. High temperatures can lead to drying and damage, affecting the fur’s quality.
- Avoid Wearing in Wet Conditions: Refrain from wearing fur on rainy days. Water can stain or compromise the texture of the fur.
- Do Not Brush: Above all, avoid brushing fur unless necessary.
- Prevent Direct Skin Contact: To maintain the cleanliness of collars and cuffs, minimize direct contact with skin. This helps keep your fur looking fresh and well-maintained.
- Limit Heavy Accessories: Avoid wearing bulky accessories on fur, as they can create unsightly indentations or distort the shape of the fibers.
- To avoid damage, if your fur becomes slightly wet, let it dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not apply direct heat or use a blow dryer.
- No Insecticides: Steer clear of using insect sprays or mothballs on or near your fur products, as these chemicals can degrade the fibers and cause discoloration.
- Avoid Perfume Application: Do not spray perfume or cologne on your fur. The alcohol in these products can lead to drying and stiffening of the fibers.

Leather Product Care Guide
- do not wash: never soak or wash leather. water ruins it and makes it hard.
- no dry cleaning: do not use normal dry cleaners. wrong cleaning ruins leather.
- do not iron: heat hurts leather. an iron will burn, crack, or bend it.
- stay away from heat: keep leather away from fire and heaters. heat makes it dry and break.
- do not wear in rain: water and leather are bad together. rain leaves marks and ruins the shape.
- no heavy items: keep heavy things off leather. they leave marks and stretch it.
- dry in cool air: if it gets wet, let it air dry in a cool room. never use a hair dryer or heater. let it dry slow.
- no perfume: do not spray perfume on leather. alcohol makes it dry and stiff.
- keep off bare skin: do not let skin touch the collar or cuffs. skin oil and sweat make it dirty.
- no bug spray or mothballs: keep bug chemicals away. they weaken the leather and change its color.
Wool Product Care Guide
- avoid washing or immersing: never wash or soak wool in water, as this causes shrinkage and damages the fibers.
- do not dry-clean: traditional dry cleaning is harsh on wool. seek specialized cleaning services for the best results.
- no ironing: direct heat damages wool and ruins its shape. use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance, or gently smooth out creases with your hands.
- keep away from heat sources: protect your items from extreme heat and flames. high temperatures dry out the natural fibers.
- do not brush: brushing disrupts the fibers and accelerates wear. instead, gently shake or air out your wool to maintain its shape and appearance.
- limit use in rainy weather: avoid wet conditions. excessive moisture damages delicate fibers and alters the fabric’s texture.
- avoid heavy accessories: refrain from wearing bulky items or heavy bags that can leave lasting impressions or permanently distort the fabric.
- dry gently if damp: if wet, lay the item flat on a clean towel in a cool, airy space. do not hang it, as this stretches the fibers. never use heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers.
- no chemicals: avoid harsh insecticides or mothballs near your wool, as these chemicals degrade fibers and cause discoloration.
- minimize direct skin contact: wear a light layer underneath to keep collars and cuffs clean and protect the fabric from body oils.
- steer clear of perfumes: do not spray fragrances directly onto the garment. alcohol dries out the fibers and affects their texture.
Cashmere Product Care Guide
- Avoid Washing or Soaking: Cashmere is a delicate material that should not be immersed in water. Improper washing compromises its luxurious texture and causes irreversible shrinkage.
- Dry Clean Only: For the best results, have your cashmere professionally dry cleaned by a specialist experienced in handling fine garments to preserve its quality and softness.
- Do Not Iron: Direct heat damages cashmere fibers. Use a fabric steamer to gently remove wrinkles. If you must use an iron, place a clean protective cloth over the garment and use the lowest, gentlest setting.
- Keep Away from Heat Sources: Protect your garment from open flames and excessive heat, such as radiators. High temperatures cause the natural fibers to dry out and lose their signature softness.
- Avoid Wet Weather: Exposure to rain or damp conditions can water-stain delicate fibers and diminish their soft feel. Keep your cashmere dry to maintain its premium quality over time.
- Limit Brushing: Aggressive brushing disrupts the fibers and accelerates pilling. Instead, gently shake out your cashmere items to maintain their shape, texture, and longevity.
- Prevent Direct Skin Contact: Wearing a light, breathable layer underneath helps keep collars and cuffs pristine by minimizing direct skin contact and protecting the fabric from body oils.
- Avoid Heavy Accessories: Refrain from wearing bulky jewelry or heavy cross-body bags that may snag, weigh down, or permanently distort the delicate knit.
- Dry Carefully if Wet: If your cashmere gets damp, lay it flat to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Never use a hairdryer, radiator, or direct sunlight to hasten the drying process.
- Keep Chemicals Away: Do not use harsh insecticides or traditional mothballs near your cashmere, as these chemicals degrade the fibers and cause discoloration. Opt for natural repellents like cedar blocks.
- No Fragrance Sprays: Avoid spraying perfume or cologne directly onto the garment. The alcohol content can dry out the fibers and stain the material.
