Care Guide
Linen Care
Linen is one of the world’s oldest fabrics and also one of the easiest fabrics to care for. Linen gets better with age and softens the more it is washed. It is a strong, durable fabric that resists pilling.
Machine Washing
All our linens are machine washable in cool to warm water. We recommend using a gentle PH balanced detergent, which works well for all natural or organic fibers. Wash with similar colors and avoid overcrowding the washing machine, as this could result in the linen being twisted and pulled out of shape. Please note: natural fibers can shrink when washed by approximately 5%.
Stain removal
The long smooth fibers in linen help resist dirt and stains. Pre-soak any stains before washing. Never use bleach, as it will destroy the natural fibers. Instead, treat stains with a non-chlorine oxygen bleach.
Linen Care
Drying
Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly too. Line dry your linen, but avoid wringing it out before drying, which could affect the shape. Drying white linen in the sun can help maintain the colour. Be sure to dry thoroughly before storing.
Ironing
Iron while the linen is still damp. Use a steam iron or a water spritzer for better results if desired.
Wool and Cashmere Care
- dry clean only
- if needed, set your iron on the wool setting and use steam when pressing
Alpaca Care
We recommend dry cleaning all our Baby Alpaca or Alpaca Lambswool throws.
Alpaca clothing can be dry cleaned or when advised, we recommend hand washing.
Hand washing
Hand wash in cool water with a very mild soap or baby shampoo. Soak the garment and gently press to remove water. Avoid wringing or twisting the garment as this may affect its shape.
Do not use the hand wash cycle on the washing machine and never use bleach as this will damage the natural fibres.
After washing, roll in a white towel to remove moisture. Lay flat to dry and block the garment to reshape it to the original dimensions.
Basket Care Guide
Our baskets are crafted from natural materials, chosen for their beauty, texture, and durability. With proper care, they will age gracefully and remain a timeless part of your home.
To keep your basket looking its best, gently dust regularly with a soft cloth or a dry brush to remove buildup. For a deeper clean, use a lightly damp cloth and wipe in the direction of the weave—avoiding excess moisture, as natural fibers can warp or weaken when saturated.
If needed, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water may be used for spot cleaning. Always allow your basket to air dry completely in a well-ventilated space, away from direct heat or sunlight.
To preserve its shape, avoid overfilling and store in a dry environment. Subtle variations and changes in tone are part of the natural aging process, adding to the character and charm of each piece.
Marble Care Guide
Marble is a timeless, natural material known for its beauty and unique veining. With proper care, it will age gracefully and last for years to come.
To maintain its appearance, gently wipe marble surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral cleanser and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic substances (such as lemon, vinegar, or wine), and abrasive cleaners, as these can etch or dull the surface. Always use coasters, trays, or protective pads to prevent stains and scratches.
Because marble is naturally porous, occasional sealing is recommended to help protect against moisture and staining.
Over time, subtle variations and patina may develop—these are part of marble’s natural character and add to its enduring appeal.
Paper Mâché Care Guide
Paper mâché pieces are handcrafted and delicate by nature, bringing texture and artistry into your home.
To care for your piece, keep it in a dry environment and away from direct moisture or humidity, as water can weaken the structure. Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth or duster—avoid any liquids or cleaning sprays.
Paper mâché is best suited for decorative use and should be handled with care. Avoid placing heavy objects inside or on top of these pieces.
Keep away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading or warping over time.
Each piece is unique, with slight variations that reflect its handmade nature—adding warmth and character to your space.
Terracotta Care Guide
Terracotta is a beautifully raw, natural material known for its warm tones and organic texture. Each piece is uniquely crafted, bringing an earthy, timeless quality into your home.
To clean, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, a slightly damp cloth may be used—just be sure to dry the surface thoroughly afterward.
Terracotta is naturally porous, so it should be kept away from prolonged moisture. If using with fresh flowers or plants, we recommend placing a watertight liner inside to prevent water absorption and potential staining.
Avoid harsh chemicals, soaps, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface and alter the natural finish.
Over time, terracotta may develop subtle variations in tone or a soft patina. This is a natural part of the material’s character and adds to its lived-in beauty.
Keep indoors or in covered areas, especially in colder climates, as exposure to freezing temperatures can cause cracking.
Each piece carries slight variations in color and texture—hallmarks of its handcrafted nature and enduring appeal.
