Care tips from the lingerie companies
A couple luxury lingerie companies were kind enough to give me their tips for their lingerie care.
Julianne (aka Adamo Fashions)
With our lingerie it is best to hand wash the item in cool water. Do not dry clean, bleach, tumble dry or iron the lingerie.
When hand washing your lingerie, use a gentle soap or washing powder. Once it’s washed, rinse thoroughly, and do not soak the item. By avoiding machine washing the underwear will keep it’s shape and colour longer. Let the underwear dry flat away from direct sunlight.
Ravage
In order to keep your bra awesome, please hand wash it in cold water or use the delicate program of your washing machine (still with cold or max 30c° water). Please dry flat it and above all don’t use the drying cabinet.
Guia La Bruna
All of our garments are mostly made in silk, so you should dry clean it. Or hand wash very carefully, but dry clean would be the best.
Frankly Darling
It is always best to hand wash in lukewarm water to keep the colour and the same with the briefs.
A.F. Vandervorst
We recommend hand wash in luke water. You can use the spinning cycle of the wool program of your washing machine, max 800, but be sure to put the bra in a nylon bag. No tumble dry, just hang on a peg and let it dry.
Fleur T
We advise that the silk garments should be hand washed in cool water.
Courtworth
Hand wash in luke warm water with mild, liquid handwash suitable for silks. Dry flat on a towel. Do not iron.
Bas Bleu
All of the lingerie can be washed at 40 degrees on a delicate cycle without any problems. I would avoid tumble drying it to improve longevity.
So, no washing machines unless yours is a front load machine and has a special cycle, and under no circumstances tumble dry of your luxury lingerie items. Hand wash or dry clean is your best choice if you want your lingerie to last and keep in great shape.
