Down
Down is ideal for lightweight insulating outerwear because it creates a warm thermal barrier next to the body. Treat your down products with special care to maintain their level of performance.
Handling down
Use your down products in cold and dry conditions. In wet weather, we recommend opting for a layered solution with a waterproof shell. Be mindful that wetting the down can compromise its insulation properties over time.
Regularly fluff your down items to maintain their loft. This can be done manually or by putting them in the dryer on a no-heat cycle with three or more tennis balls.
Cleaning down
Hand or machine wash down items infrequently, only when they are noticeably dirty.
Spot clean and air your down product frequently between washes. For small stains or spots, use a mild soap and a sponge or cloth to gently clean the area.
Machine wash
Wash at a low temperature and on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners and bleach as they can strip the down’s natural oils.
Close all zippers and Velcro before washing.
Never dry clean your down products, as the feather may get destroyed by the chemicals.
Drying down
Tumble dry at a low temperature—it will take some time, but be patient and wait until it’s completely dry.
Using tennis balls in the dryer, at least three of them, will help distribute the down and feathers evenly.
Storing down
For everyday storage, hang your down items in a closet to avoid compression.
For long-term storage, use a breathable cotton bag or cover. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Synthetic fibres
Care guides|August 2025
Synthetic fibres such as polyester, polyamide, acrylic, and elastane have many useful properties that can be enjoyed in a variety of garments, including activewear and swimwear. They’re usually comfortable, quick-drying, and keep their shape well. However, they also shed tiny plastic particles that can enter the sea and cause harm to our ecosystems. Here’s how to care for synthetic garments.

On craft as continuum
Notes|August 2025
Textile traditions often carry more than technique – holding memory, care, and everyday acts of creativity. At the intersection of past and present, and amid a renewed interest in the handmade, craft becomes a way of remembering and passing on the knowledge handed down through generations.
