How do I care for my product? Cleaning tips by materialUpdated 3 hours ago

1. Quilted cotton

  • For a small stain: a damp washcloth or cloth with a mild soap (such as Marseille soap or castile soap) does the trick;
  • For a full wash: delicate wash at 30 °C (86 °F) maximum, ideally by hand. The washing machine (delicate cycle) is fine once in a while, but repeated cycles wear out the quilting;
  • Let it dry flat, in the open air, away from any heat source. Never put it in the dryer.

2. Nylon / polyester (smooth canvas)

  • Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth;
  • Clean with a mix of lukewarm water + mild soap (such as Marseille soap or castile soap);
  • Rinse lightly with a damp cloth;
  • Don't use harsh products (alcohol, solvents);
  • Let it dry in the open air, away from any heat source.

3. Iridescent / glitter materials

  • Use a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with soapy water;
  • Dab gently and avoid vigorous rubbing so the iridescent effects don't come off;
  • No brushes, no abrasive products;
  • Let it dry in the open air, away from any heat source.

4. Velvet

  • Brush gently in the direction of the pile with a soft brush or a special velvet fabric brush;
  • For a stain: dab with a clean cloth soaked in cold soapy water. Never rub hard (it can mark the velvet);
  • For a full wash: by hand only, at 30 °C (86 °F) maximum;
  • To restore volume: give it a light burst of steam, without touching the fabric;
  • Let it dry flat, in the open air, away from any heat source.

5. Faux leather

  • Wipe with a soft, lightly dampened cloth;
  • Use lukewarm water + mild soap;
  • Dry with a clean towel;
  • To revive the material: a product made for synthetic leather can be used occasionally;
  • Avoid: solvents, alcohol wipes, products for genuine leather (too greasy).

6. Wipe-clean lining (inside vanity cases and toiletry bags)

  • That's exactly what it's made for: a quick wipe with a damp cloth or sponge is all it takes, even after a makeup or shampoo leak;
  • Let it dry open before closing it.
