Care for your darlings
Inspired by the best of the past, we create timeless garments in materials made to last. Clothes to love today and for the rest of your life. In order for your garment to live a long life, there are several things you can do yourself to care for it in the right way.
Air rather than washing often. After a day of use, you can turn your garment inside out and hang it on a hanger and air it outside. Give the garment a chance to freshen up before you hang it back in the closet.
Feel free to use a petticoat, tank top or a thin T-shirt under your clothes, so your shirt or dress stays fresh longer. If your clothes have attracted a bad smell, you can put them over a warm element to evaporate the smell. A few heavy puffs with a steam iron or steamer can also do the trick against mild odors in the armpit of a dress or cotton sweater.

Wool
You almost never need to wash wool sweaters, it is usually enough to air them outside when it is below zero, cold or damp. If, after all, you want to wash your wool garment, you must be careful to use a detergent suitable for wool so that the material retains its fine luster and all the other good properties that wool has. Then let the garment dry flat on a terry towel.
If the sweater is made of wool, you can try to weave the threads together on the back. Use warm water and soap or shampoo and rub the strands together on the back. Finish by attaching with wire so it doesn't scratch up.
Has your jumper och cardigan got a hole in the elbow? Then we can advise you that there are oval patches in the haberdashery store that are for repairing this type of wear. The patches have pre-punched holes that make them easy to attach with a couple of stitches. The result is neat and gives your sweater a genuine look.
Even a high-quality wool garment can get pimples. It is protruding yarn fibers that feel together. If the garment is made of pure natural material, the bumps are easy to remove and the excess will disappear over time. With a wool comb you can gently remove the pimples. You put the garment on a hard surface and go over it with the comb under the armholes, on the sides of the torso and in the cuffs and the sweater will be like new.

Cotton
We like to use cotton in our clothes, both in knitwear and woven garments. One of the advantages of knitwear in cotton is that they are very easy to care for. When you have washed the garment, hang it on a hanger, preferably with rounded ends, so you usually don't need to iron the garment at all. Woven viscose is a bit more delicate. Do not pull the fabric when it is wet, as it is more fragile. Instead, let the garment dry by hanging it on a hanger. If the fabric shrinks, lightly iron it to its original size.
If your garment stretches, for example at the elbows, you can get the shape back by puffing steam or stea
