The best way to ensure that your clothes last a lifetime is to look after them properly. All our garments come with a care label with instructions on how best to care for them. This prevents your clothes from being damaged during washing.

Not all textiles can be washed in the washing machine - unfortunately! Many of our styles are hand wash only. Typical candidates for hand washing are wool, leather and silk garments. Many washing machines today offer gentle hand washing or wool washing programs. Whether or not you trust these programs is up to you to decide. You are on the safe side if you prefer hand washing.

The right hand wash

First you run warm water in the sink or in the bathtub. The water temperature should be around 30 degrees. Now add the detergent and stir to ensure that it is completely dissolved and distributed. The correct dosage can be found in the manufacturer's instructions for the detergent.

In the next step you put the laundry in the prepared water. Wool and silk should only be moved a little in the water. The more delicate a piece of clothing, the shorter the soaking time.

After the actual washing, the rinsing takes place and you should also proceed as gently as possible, ie do not wring out the clothes or press them too hard. When the rinsing water is clear, the laundry is carefully removed.

Less delicate clothes can be hung to dry. Wool, on the other hand, needs special treatment: it is rolled in a towel, then carefully pulled into shape and dried lying down.

Proper Care

Choosing the right detergent is also important to ensure your clothes last a lifetime. For certain fabric types there are special detergents designed to meet the specific needs of the garments. The following specialty detergents are particularly suitable for caring for our clothes:

• Detergent for cashmere & wool (e.g., kaëll Kaschmirliebe)
• Detergent for silk & viscose (e.g., kaëll Hautnah)
• Detergent for cotton & linen (e.g., kaëll Leineweber)

Our long-standing partner kaëll has developed high-quality, eco-friendly products for this purpose, which you can purchase at our store in Hamburg. If you have any questions, our team is always available to assist you here.

When washing, please always follow the care instructions on our care labels as well as those on your detergent.
