CARE GUIDE

SHOES

CLEANING YOUR SHOES REGULARLY HELP GIVE YOUR SHOES A LONGER LIFE.

REGULARLY BRUSH YOUR SHOES TO REMOVE DIRT AND DEBRIS - FOLLOWED BY A GOOD WIPE DOWN USING A SLIGHTLY DAMPENED CLOTH. WHEN THE LEATHER LOOKS HUNGRY, TREAT THE LEATHER UPPERS WITH A HIGH QUALITY SHOE CREAM, ALWAYS MAKING SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT COLOUR.

DUE TO NATURAL PERSPIRATION, FOOTWEAR CAN OFTEN TAKE A WHOLE DAY TO DRY OUT COMPLETELY. ALWAYS TRY TO ALLOW A FULL TWENTY-FOUR HOURS BETWEEN WEARS, ALTERNATING WITH OTHER SHOES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR SNEAKERS BECOME VERY WET (FROM RAIN RATHER THAN SWEAT) ENSURE THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DRY OUT SLOWLY AND NATURALLY, AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, HEAT SUCH AS RADIATORS OR HEATED FLOORS AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SHOES. SHOULD THE SHOES BE SO WET THAT THEY ARE DAMP ON THE INSIDE, WE RECOMMEND PACKING THE INSIDE OF THE SHOES WITH NEWSPAPER TO HELP ABSORB WATER.

ADDITIONALLY, USING WOODEN SHOE TREES HELPS ABSORB MOISTURE AND MAINTAIN THE SHAPE OF THE SHOE AS THEY DRY.

CLEANING THE EDGES OF YOUR SOLES. ALWAYS USE CLEAN WATER WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF CHEMICALS. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT THE WATER IS NOT TOO WARM, AS THIS MIGHT DISSOLVE CERTAIN TYPES OF GLUE. FOLLOW UP WITH A CLEAN CLOTH OR A SLIGHTLY HARDER BRUSH (AN OLD TOOTHBRUSH IS FINE).

UNDERWEAR

EVEN THOUGH OUR LYOCELL UNDERWEAR IS REALLY EASY TO CARE, WE BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE TREATED WITH THE SAME RESPECT AS THE REST OF THE ITEMS IN YOUR WARDROBE.

WASH IN A 30 DEGREE WASH. MODERN MACHINES AND DETERGENTS MEAN YOU DON’T NEED TO USE A HIGHER TEMPERATURE TO GET THINGS REALLY CLEAN ANYMORE. SELECT A LOW SPIN CYCLE TO PREVENT CREASING TOO AND DO LET THE GARMENT HANG DRY. YOU CAN ALSO WARM IRON WITH SOME STEAM AND FOLD THEM WITH LOVE.

SOCKS

ALL SOCKS SHOULD BE TURNED INSIDE OUT AND BLEACHING OR IRONING SHOULD BE AVOIDED. EVEN THOUGH OUR SOCKS ARE DURABLE, THEY WILL LAST LONGER IF THEY ARE KEPT OUT OF THE TUMBLE DRYER.

WE RECOMMEND A WASHING TEMPERATURE OF 40°C/104°F.

IMPORTANT: WHEN PUTTING ON YOUR BRAND NEW PAIR, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CUT THE THREAD ON THE LABEL WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS INSTEAD OF RIPPING IT OFF AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE SOCKS.

JEWELLERY

GIVEN THE THICKNESS OF THE CHAIN AND ELEMENTS USED IN OUR JEWELRY, WE RECOMMEND TO TREAT IT CAREFULLY AND AVOID SUDDEN MOVES.

OUR JEWELLERY HAS BEEN RHODIUM PLATED TO ENHANCE THEIR SHININESS AND TO AVOID OXIDATION. RHODIUM IS A METAL THAT HAS A SILVERY-WHITE APPEARANCE AND IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST PRECIOUS METALS. RHODIUM IS RESISTANT TO CORROSION AND DOES NOT OXIDISE. HOWEVER, OVER TIME WITH REGULAR WEAR RHODIUM PLATING MAY SLOWLY VANISH AND OXIDATION MAY OCCUR.

OUR JET FISTS ARE MADE IN THE NORTH OF SPAIN WHERE IS BELIEVED THAT JET STONE HAS THE ABILITY TO DRAW OUT THE NEGATIVE ENERGIES THAT ARE LINGERING IN YOUR AURIC FIELDS, AND IF IT EVER BREAK, IT WOULD MEAN THAT ITS POWER HAS WORKED AND A BAD OMEN WAS AVERTED.

PLEASE STORE YOUR SILVER JEWELLERY PROPERLY AT THE COTTON BAG YOU WILL FIND ENCLOSED TO YOUR ORDER IN A DRY AND AIR-TIGHT PLACE TO MINIMISE THE OXIDATION PROCESS. AVOID CONTACT WITH FRAGRANCES, LOTIONS AND CLEANING AGENTS, ESPECIALLY BLEACH AND ALWAYS REMOVE YOUR SILVER JEWELLERY WHEN SWIMMING OR SHOWERING. 

OBSIDIAN

LEASE AVOID ANY CHEMICAL CLEANINGS AND ABRASIVE SCRUBBERS AND SCRUB BRUSHES AS THESE CAUSE SMALL ETCHES THAT EVENTUALLY DULL THE SURFACE.

WASH YOUR OBSIDIAN WELL UNDER COOL RUNNING WATER AND THEN LET THEM AIR DRY IN THE MORNING SUN FOR AN HOUR OR SO AND THEN RUB IT WITH A MICROFIBER CLOTH UNTIL BRINGS HIS NATURAL SHINE.

BELT

AS OUR BELT IS MADE WITH THE SAME LEATHER FROM OUR SHOES, THE MAINTENANCE IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. TO CLEAN YOUR BELT, SIMPLY WIPE IT DOWN WITH A LUKEWARM DAMP CLOTH. WHEN THE LEATHER LOOKS HUNGRY, TREAT YOUR BELT WITH A HIGH QUALITY SHOE CREAM, ALWAYS MAKING SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT COLOUR.

IF YOUR BELT GETS WET, WE’D RECOMMEND BLOTTING IT WITH A TOWEL AND LETTING IT DRY NATURALLY AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, HEAT SUCH AS RADIATORS OR HEATED FLOORS AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE LEATHER.

IT IS BETTER TO USE A CLOTHES HANGER TO HANG YOUR BELT. WHEN YOU ARE DONE KEEP OFF THE BELT FROM YOUR PANTS AND DO NOT LET IT BEND WITH YOUR PANTS ON HOOK.

MOHAIR KNITWEAR

WITH ITS DELICATE APPEARANCE, IT IS OFTEN A SURPRISE TO DISCOVER JUST HOW DURABLE AND RESILIENT MOHAIR CAN BE. LIKE MOST LUXURY FIBRES, MOHAIR REQUIRES PROPER HANDLING TO ENSURE THAT IT MAINTAINS ITS BEAUTY OVER TIME.

WE RECOMMEND GENTLE HAND WASH SEPARATELY FROM YOUR CLOTHES TO AVOID MOHAIR CONTAMINATION USING MILD DETERGENT RECOMMENDED FOR WASHING WOOL, OR EVEN HAIR SHAMPOO. VERY GENTLY AGITATE BY HAND TO DISLODGE DIRT PARTICLES. RINSE IN CLEAN, COOL WATER. A SMALL AMOUNT OF FABRIC SOFTENER CAN BE USED IF DESIRED.

ONCE YOUR MOHAIR PIECE IS WASHED AND RINSED, LAY FLAT IN ITS NATURAL SHAPE TO AIR DRY IN SHADE. NEVER PUT WOOLENS IN THE DRYER. MACHINE DRYING WOOLENS WILL CAUSE THEM TO SHRINK AND HARM THE INTEGRITY OF FIBERS.

WHEN DRY, A BRISK SHAKE OR BRUSH (WITH A STIFF HAIR BRUSH) WILL RESTORE THE PILE. GENTLE COAXING, RATHER THAN FIRM STROKES, IS ADVISED TO EASE OUT TANGLE AND CREATE THE DOWNY PILE FOR WHICH MOHAIR IS RENOWNED.

SHEDDING OF FLUFF MAY OCCUR. USE A FABRIC BRUSH TO GENTLY COMB AND REMOVE EXCESS HAIRS.

DO NOT KEEP KNITTED MOHAIR GARMENTS ON HANGERS; RATHER FOLD AND STORE ON A SHELF.
