If a garment made of a Drapers fabric is stained, we advise you always to take it to a specialist dry cleaner’s in order to safeguard its softness, the quality of the natural fibres, the colour and the consistency of the fabric.
Garments made with Drapers fabrics should be cleaned exclusively by a specialised dry cleaner’s. Dry cleaning prevents risk of loss of fabric quality, including in terms of colour. The majority of fabrics sold by Drapers are made of pure natural fibres (wool, mohair, linen, cotton, cashmere, silk, etc.) and, in order to safeguard their qualities of softness and lustre, we recommend only using solvents that do not contain water. In every case you should consult the washing instructions to be found on the label of every garment or the fabric information sheet on the website.
Garments made from Drapers fabrics should ideally be periodically ironed by a specialist such as a tailor or specialised dry cleaner’s. This, and storing the garment correctly, will help to maintain the qualities of the natural fibres the fabric is made of and lengthen its life.
All information about the composition, specific details, care and tips for good maintenance are given in the article technical information sheet which you can access via the Catalogue.
