SATIN & LACE

Behind The Seams

We choose satin and lace for the way they make you feel. Both fabrics take extra craftsmanship to produce and construct, which is exactly why they deserve a little extra care in return, so you can keep wearing them for far longer than one big night out.

Caring for Satin & Lace

Satin is all about that liquid-smooth finish and effortless shine, moving with you and catching the light beautifully. Lace brings the detail, intricate, delicate, and designed to feel as good as it looks, with its beautiful open-work pattern created from fine threads. Both fabrics deserve a little extra love to keep them looking as good as day one.

Take care when trying on, wearing, and getting dressed. Satin's surface threads can snag on jewellery and rough edges, while lace's open structure can pull, snag, or lose shape if tugged. Avoid direct contact with perfume, body spray, and deodorant, as these can react with the fabric and cause marking or discolouration, and keep pieces away from prolonged sun exposure to avoid yellowing or sun-bleaching over time.

Washing Satin & Lace

Wash cold, either by hand or on a delicate machine cycle inside a wash bag, using a gentle detergent and washing separately or with similar colours to avoid dye transfer. Skip the scrubbing, wringing, bleach, and fabric softener, as softener can dull satin's signature sheen.

Heat is the biggest risk for both fabrics, so always air dry away from direct heat and never tumble dry, as high temperatures can cause warping or lasting damage. If ironing, use the lowest heat setting on the reverse side only or steam instead if possible. Lace is best laid flat to dry and stored folded rather than hung, to help it hold its shape.
