CARE
and some tips
When discussing cleaning, it's important to distinguish between different fabrics and their sensitivities, but also between the different structures of the garments: a 100% cotton t-shirt isn't cleaned the same way as 100% cotton pants. This is due to their construction.
A t-shirt generally consists only of jersey fabric and a connecting thread. Pants, on the other hand, will most often have a interlined waistband, a zipper, metal hooks and eyes, and other materials that don't necessarily react well to water.

This symbol means "do not wash with water". Therefore, it is recommended to entrust its cleaning to a dry cleaner.
¡Be aware! As in absolutely all professions, there are all shades of quality of work. We recommend pressing Verneuil, located on Rue de Verneuil, Paris 7th arrondissement, who is an excellent professional.

This symbol means "hand wash". It is understood that the material is extremely delicate; we advise washing in lukewarm to cool (never ice-cold) water, then rolling your garment in a bath towel to gently squeeze out the excess water, and drying it flat if it's jersey and possibly on a hanger if it is a woven fabric.

This symbol means "wash at 30°C" (85°F). However, this doesn't mean you should start the program blindly (see the 21st-century advice below). We use precious and delicate materials, the finest poplins and jerseys, to bring you comfort and a soft feel against your skin. We recommend a medium spin cycle (800 to 1000 rpm) and gentle drying (low temperature).

WOOLEN
All or some
Wool is any fiber derived from animal hair, whether sheep, goat, etc.
Wool should be washed in cold water and should not be wrung out or artificially dried.
You can hand wash the garment when washing is permitted -that is, neither a structured jacket, coat, nor trousers- oor use the 'wool' program on your washing machine, specifying cool water (maximum 20°C), no spin cycle, and no drying.
Then, roll your garment in a bath towel to gently remove excess water, and dry it flat if it is jersey, or possibly on a hanger if it is woven.
Opt for wool detergents or baby shampoo.

WASHING, DRYING
& the forgotten..
One little-known fact that it's essential to remember here: spin power can be harmful if it's not appropriate. The 21st century has given us highly customizable washing machines; it's time to read the manual!
Washing in cold water but with a spin cycle of 1400 rpm will damage delicate fibers. High-temperature drying will finish them off completely. Even with cotton or linen.
An iron is excellent for eradicating bacteria because it operates at a high temperature and helps relax fibers that have been jostled in the washing machine.
those that we shall not name
It is an enemy whose mere mention sends shivers down our spines, the one that devours our most luxurious fibers, our cherished sweaters, our winter dresses... To combat this threat, we recommend washing all your winter clothes once the season is over, as this enemy adores human scent. Store them in tissue paper in a dry place, along with cedarwood chips, cloves, or essential oils of thyme and citrus.
