Denim

Indigo evolves with wear. Infrequent cool washing slows fading, protects stretch fibres and reduces the energy used throughout the garment's life.

The care label comes first

Construction, dye, trims and lining can change how a fabric should be cleaned. If the label is more restrictive than this guide, always follow the label.

The routine

01 · Wash

Protect the indigo

Fasten the garment, turn it inside out and wash with dark similar colours using a small amount of liquid detergent.

02 · Dry

Skip the tumble dryer

Reshape and hang from the waistband in shade. Strong heat can shrink cotton denim and degrade stretch recovery.

03 · Finish

Let wear create character

Iron only when needed, on the reverse at medium heat. Natural softening and subtle fading are part of denim's appeal.

Garments prepared for considered storage

Between seasons

Keep it at its best.

Air between wears and spot-clean small marks with a clean damp cloth. Avoid freezing denim; it does not replace washing when the garment is soiled.
