WASH, CARE & MEND

​Here are some recommendations on how to extend the life of your garments and also be more mindful of the environment.

WASH AT LOW TEMPERATURE
Intense heat may cause fibers
​to break in time. Also, by using
cold water you reduce CO2 
emissions.

USE A LAUNDRY BAG
A bit of extra care will make
​ your garments last longer.

REPAIR & EXTEND
Give your clothing your personal
touch instead of buying new pieces.
A small fix can prolong your
​garment's life for years.

REDUCE WASH & SPOT CLEAN
More than two thirds of your
​clothes carbon footprint* occurs
in your care, part of it  when washing.
Air your clothes outside when you
just ​need to regain freshness.

LINE DRY
It's healthier for your garments to
dry naturally. When you can, skip
the dryer. It will also reduce energy
​ consumption and CO2 emissions.

     USE A CLOTHING BRUSH
From time to time pilling* may occur
on the surface of your clothes and that's
normal. In order to regain that smooth
look, gently brush the hairs away.

BIODEGRADABLE DETERGENT
This type of detergent keeps the
waterways clean and it's more
gentle with your clothes and skin.

      GREEN DRY-CLEANING          
Traditional dry-cleaning uses large amounts of perchloroethylene* or "Perc" which is harmful
​for humans and the environment. In time
​it may affect your liver and kidneys.
When dry-cleaning, make sure to  ask
​for a non-perc cleaning method.

DISCARD SAFELY
Because our clothes are
biodegradable, all you have to do
is put them in compost. ​Eventually
​they will become nutrients to the soil.
*carbon footprint is a way of measuring the impact on the environment, of a product/activity/person, expressed in units of carbon dioxide produced.  Simply put, the amount of CO2 that someone or something generates.  

*perchloroethylene or "perc" is the main chemical used in dry cleaning. Perc is classified as a "volatile organic compound" (VOC) and is considered to pose a health risk to humans and animals when it is released in the air, water or food. A brief air 
contact with Perc may cause dizziness and headaches, while a constant contact with it may lead damage to the central nervous system, liver and kidneys. It can also cause respiratory failure.

​*pilling i
s the formation of small balls of fluff that are caused by friction upon a fabric. It is more common for knitted fabrics but woven fabrics develop it as well.    ​
