How to Care for Your Gemmes

It is always advisable to wash your preloved garments before wearing them, unless already professionally cleaned. These pieces have journeyed through different hands and might have been sprayed with disinfectant at the store where they were obtained.

1. Gentle Hand Wash

For delicate fabrics and intricate designs, opt for a gentle hand wash using mild detergent. Submerge the garment, gently agitate, and rinse with cool water.

2. Machine Wash

Check care labels and use a mesh laundry bag for machine washing. Select a cold, gentle cycle to preserve colors and fabric integrity.

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Steer clear of harsh chemicals or bleach, especially with vintage fabric. Choose mild detergents suitable for delicate fabrics without a fragrance.

4. Air Dry

Lay flat or hang your garments to air dry, avoiding high heat. To soften your garment after air drying, opt for a handheld steamer or set your dryer on the low setting.

5. Professional Cleaning

For intricate or valuable pieces, consider professional cleaning services. Experts can ensure careful handling and preservation.
