When you choose natural fabrics like linen, cotton, bamboo, or banana fibre, you’re choosing quality, comfort, and sustainability. But even the best materials need a little love to last. Here’s how to care for your Natural Fashion pieces so they stay looking and feeling beautiful for years to come.
1. Wash less, and with care
Natural fibres don’t need frequent washing. Often, a good air-out or a spot clean will do. When you do wash, opt for cold or low temperatures, and use a gentle, eco-friendly detergent. This protects the fibres and reduces environmental impact.
2. Skip the tumble dryer
Heat is the enemy of natural fabrics. Line-drying not only saves energy but also keeps your clothes in better shape. Shake garments gently before hanging to help reduce creases.
3. Store thoughtfully
Store pieces in a cool, dry place, and avoid plastic covers—natural fibres need to breathe. For delicate items like Bemberg satin or rose fibre pieces, fold rather than hang to prevent stretching.
4. Iron with care
Use a steam setting for linen and cotton, and always iron inside-out on delicate pieces. Alternatively, hang items in a steamy bathroom for a natural crease release.
5. Mend, don’t discard
A loose button or small tear doesn’t mean the end. Learning simple mending techniques extends the life of your garments and keeps them out of landfill.
Caring for your clothes is an act of sustainability in itself. With just a little effort, you’ll enjoy your favourite pieces for years—because timeless style deserves a long life.
