LINEN

How to care for linen garments?

Linen is a natural fibre appreciated for lightness, breathability and a slightly creased look that forms part of its character. At SANDRO, we favour linen grown and processed in Europe, sourced from traceable supply chains and produced using practices that limit irrigation, fertilisers and pesticides.
A living natural fibre, linen requires appropriate care to preserve colour, shape and drape over time. This fibre is also highly prone to creasing and shrinking when washed.

Linen is a natural fibre that absorbs colour more lightly and less permanently. This fibre also creases easily and is highly susceptible to shrinking during washing.

Dry cleaning recommended:

To preserve fibre softness and radiance, we recommend professional dry cleaning.

Washing:

Hand wash cold, do not soak.

Spinning:

Gentle, without wringing garment, by machine or by hand.

Drying:

Opt for flat drying. Once dry, item will appear very creased.

Ironing and steaming:

These are essential, but must be done at temperatures suitable for linen.
We advise ironing and steaming garment inside out to avoid leaving marks.
