We want you to get the most out of your vintage clothes so
knowing how to care for them is essential. With the right care,
storage and a bit of TLC, your vintage garments will be worn for
generations to come!
Storing vintage clothes
- Always keep your vintage garments in a dry, dust-free place
away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and deterioration of
fabric.
- Always hang up vintage garments to dry out perspiration instead
of leaving them in a hamper until wash day.
- Always use wooden or padded hangers as wired hangers can ruin
the fabric at the shoulders and cause rips over time.
- Always fold fragile silks, knits and beaded items carefully
instead of hanging them.
- Do not store vintage garments in plastic bags or plastic
storage containers as the fabric needs to breathe.
Washing vintage clothes
- Always read the care label and follow the washing instructions
when available.
- Always check for loose seams, holes or frays before washing to
avoid damaging the garment further.
- Always hand wash or dry clean vintage garments pre 1960s
vintage as they are non machine washable. If the fabric is very old
or delicate, good airing can often remove odour without damaging
the garment.
- Always hand wash or dry clean silk, wool, velvet and any
garment with beading. Please make sure your dry cleaner is
experienced in vintage fabrics.
- Always hang up the vintage garments on a drying rack instead of
drying them in the dryer.
- Attempt to wash your vintage garments less to avoid damaging
the garment from repeated washing.
