CARE: Milwaukee Panorama Herringbone
In a quaint workshop where the threads of tradition and innovation weave together, the Milwaukee skirt came into being. Crafted from a fabric that marries 90% linen with 10% cotton, it offers not just a garment, but a piece of artistry that needs particular care to maintain its character and quality.
Imagine each thread, infused with the strength of linen and the comfort of cotton, spun into a timeless herringbone pattern. To ensure this exquisite fabric remains as impeccable as the day it was sewn, here are the steps to cherish and preserve it:
-
Gentle Washing: Wash your skirt gently by hand or in a washing machine set to a delicate cycle, separately. Cold water is your fabric's best friend, preserving its natural texture and preventing shrinkage.
-
Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent, one that is as gentle and effective, to clean without disrupting the fabric’s integrity. Avoid bleach at all costs—it's the arch-nemesis of natural fibres.
-
Air Dry with Love: Instead of tossing your skirt into the tumble dryer, let it air dry. Hang it or lay it flat in a shaded area, imagining it basking in a gentle breeze rather than harsh sunlight, which could fade its rich colours.
-
Soft Ironing: If needed, iron the skirt on a low heat setting to remove any wrinkles. Place a cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the delicate herringbone texture.
-
Proper Storage: Store your skirt lovingly. Hang it on a padded hanger or fold it neatly, letting it rest in a space that speaks of its worth.
Following these steps will ensure that your Milwaukee skirt continues to drape beautifully and withstand the test of time, much like the stories woven into its very fibres.
