We carefully select each fabric that we use by considering quality, texture, ‘handfeel’ and of course how the fabric treats your skin. Here is a list of the fabrics that we currently use and why we have chosen them. 

Linen/Rayon Blend 

Medium weight fabric made from a balanced blend of Linen and Rayon: 55% Linen 45% Rayon

Why we chose it - This linen/rayon blend was selected because it is a balanced fabric that combines the structure of linen with the silky drape of rayon. As it is worn and washed, the fabric  gets softer and more textured. Made from natural fibres this fabric allows your skin to breathe. 

How to care for it: Machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle.  Do not tumble dry. Iron on medium. Some colour loss can occur on first wash.

Rayon/Linen Blend - Paloma

Fabric composition: 80% Rayon 20% Linen 

This fabric is soft and luxurious to touch and has an incredible weight that makes it drape beautifully.  But the texture in the fabric does make it slightly delicate and it needs to be carefully looked after to make sure that it lasts - please follow the care instructions carefully. It is breathable and absorbent, and temperature regulating, however it does crease.  Please be aware that it requires ironing. 

Washing: Hand wash in cold water.  You can machine wash on a very gentle cycle in a “handwash bag” on cold (not 20 or 30 degrees). No soaking. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Ironing required - medium temperature.

100% Rayon

Our 100% Rayon is produced from a wood pulp cellulose treated to create a delicate weave that ensures soft handling and a beautiful drape. 

Why we chose it - Rayon has the benefits of being plant based with the technical advantages of a synthetic process. This is how we are left with a fabric that can allow your skin to breathe, but have the complete regularity of a continuous fibre.   

How to care for it - Wash in cold water (completely cold! not even 30 degrees)  All our Rayon has been pre-shrunk, but because it is a filament fibre further shrinking or stretching is always a possibility. Do not Tumble dry. Iron garment inside out.

Butter Soft Washed 100% Linen

100% Linen derived from the flax plant. 

Linen has amazing properties. It is breathable, absorbent and temperature regulating, however it does crease.  This linen has been butter soft washed to set in a crushed look that helps reduce the appearance of strong creasing.  In order to keep this look, wash on a cold gentle cycle with a softener and then tumble dry.  You can also hang up your garments on a hanger to dry.  Ironing is optional, but it will affect the appearance of the texture created by the butter soft wash.

Washing: Machine washable on a cold gentle cycle. Hang dry on a hanger not over line.  Ironing optional.  

100% Crisp Linen

100% Linen derived from the flax plant. 

Linen has amazing properties. It is breathable and absorbent, and temperature regulating, however it does crease.  Please be aware that crisp linen requires ironing.

Tencel

Tencel Linen

Fabric composition: 70% Tencel 30% Linen.

We have garment washed this fabric so it should not shrink when washed, but the fibres will tighten when wet and then loosen out if ironed

Viscose

How to care for your leather products

Leather is unique in the way that it improves with age and gets more character.  However, if you want it to last it should be properly cared for. Brush your bag lightly with a cleamn cloth to remove dirt regularly.  Once clean, rub with a leather balm to keep the leather moist and nourished.
