OUR FABRICS
Not only did we want to create stylish wardrobe staples, but we also wanted pieces that were low maintenance and easy to care for. All of our pieces are made with 100% cotton with a wrinkle resistant finish. You can wash them at home--no dry cleaning necessary.
Often, cotton is spun with polyester thread to give it some wrinkle resistance. We tend to shy away from cotton-poly blends as we've found that pure cotton fabrics generally breathe and feel better than fabrics mixed with synthetic fibers. Our fabrics crease similarly to cotton poly blends, but feel much better against the skin because they're 100% cotton!
All of our fabrics are woven in Turkey and meet the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 for environmental responsibility.
CARE
As much as we love supporting our local dry cleaners, we also love washing machine-friendly garments. Luckily, our pieces can be washed at home in warm water with like colors. We recommend hanging them to dry rather than throwing them into the dryer. Tumble drying, although fast and convenient, can cause more shrinkage and be rough on the fabric causing extra wear and tear. We want your clothes to last as long as possible so avoiding the dryer is highly recommended.
Upcycled Vintage Strap Shirt
FOR OUR UPCYCLED PIECES
One of the main reasons we upcycle pre-loved clothing is so we can extend the life and value of a shirt for years to come, thus reducing waste, saving resources, and preventing pieces from unnecessarily being sent to landfill. This means sometimes rescuing discarded pieces that have signs of wear or need a little mending before remaking them. However, it is close to impossible to get these upcycled pieces in near-perfect condition before being sold on. So for our upcycled pieces, there may be small signs of wear. But we like to think that this adds to the unique history of each piece!
