Caring for Your Vintage Pieces
Vintage clothing requires special care to preserve its beauty and longevity. Here are our expert tips for keeping your treasured pieces in pristine condition:
Gentle Washing: Hand wash delicate vintage items in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and bleach that can damage delicate fabrics and fade colors.
Air Drying: Always air dry your vintage pieces. Never use a dryer, as heat can shrink fabrics and damage elastic and delicate materials. Lay flat or hang on padded hangers away from direct sunlight.
Proper Storage: Store vintage clothing in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests. Use acid-free tissue paper to wrap delicate items, and avoid plastic bags that can trap moisture and cause mildew.
Handling Delicate Fabrics: Treat silk, lace, and other delicate materials with extra care. Support garments from underneath when handling, and avoid excessive stretching or pulling.
With proper care, your vintage pieces will remain beautiful for years to come!
