Clothes are piling up in your laundry basket? You’re not being lazy, you’re just being a really good person. Only wash as needed – you’ll save on water, detergent and your clothes will last way longer.
We recommend following these mindful care tips:
-
Wash Cold: most of the energy spent in conventional washing machines is used heating the water. We recommend switching to cold water cycled or washing at max 30°C.
-
Hang Dry: Skip the drier! Air-drying your clothes even just 6 months a year can save hundreds of kilos of Co2 from entering the atmosphere.
-
Iron Cool: All of our garments can be ironed. We recommend setting your iron on medium heat and ironing the garments on reverse. Definitely do not iron on prints!
-
Hand Wash: Our handwoven fabrics are super delicate. While you can place them in a laundry net and a delicate cycle, we recommend hand-washing them whenever possible.
FUN FACT: 95% of discarded clothing can be recycled or upcycled. Don't trash your unwanted clothes: Mend, donate, swap them!
By following these smart care instructions, you can make positive impact and generate countless savings in key resources:
