Caring for Your Bed Linen

Our bed linen is chosen for its natural softness, quiet strength and lived-in elegance. With a little care, it will become even more beautiful over time.

First Wash

  • Before first use, we recommend washing to allow the fibres to settle and soften.

  • Wash items separately by colour – whites, lights, and darks – and avoid mixing with garments that have zips, hooks or hardware.

  • Ensure everything is unfolded before placing in the machine.

  • Start with a warm cycle (up to 60°C) and add a colour catcher. From then on, we suggest a cooler wash.

Ongoing Care

  • Use a gentle liquid detergent – one that’s free from bleach, brighteners or harsh chemicals.

  • Avoid powders and always make sure detergent is fully diluted before touching the fabric.

  • Once washed, remove promptly and give each piece a soft shake to help ease out creases.

Drying & Pressing

  • Line dry where possible, avoiding direct sunlight to protect both whites and colours.

  • If tumble drying, use a low heat and remove while still slightly damp.

  • Steam or warm iron as needed – we recommend pressing embroidery on the reverse, while still damp, for the best finish.

  • There’s no need for starch.

Fit & Feel

Our linen is cut with care to allow for light natural shrinkage after the first wash – ensuring a softly tailored fit from then on.
