Ani Arpé maintenance guide for noble materials

At Ani Arpé, we are committed to offering you clothes made from the finest materials. Our carefully designed collections use prestigious fabrics such as silk, wool, plumetis and cotton. To ensure that these exceptional pieces retain their shine and quality over time, proper care is essential. Here are our care tips for taking care of your Ani Arpé clothes.

Silk: Elegance and Softness

Silk is a luxurious natural fiber, known for its softness and shine. To preserve its beauty:

• Washing : Preferably hand wash in cold water with a mild silk detergent. Avoid excessive rubbing to avoid damaging the fibers.
• Drying : Gently blot excess water with a clean towel and lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight. Avoid machine drying which can shrink and dull the silk.
• Ironing : Iron at a low temperature on the reverse side while the fabric is still slightly damp, or use a steam iron with caution.

Wool: Warmth and Comfort

Wool is a natural material that provides warmth and comfort. To keep it in perfect condition:

• Washing : Hand wash in warm water with a wool detergent. If using a machine, choose a cold wool cycle with a low spin speed.
• Drying : Avoid tumble drying. Blot excess water with a towel and lay flat to dry on a clean surface. Gently reshape garment to restore shape.
• Ironing : Use a medium heat iron with a damp cloth to avoid burning the fibers. Steam can also be used to remove wrinkles from wool.

Plumetis: Lightness and Delicacy

Plumetis, a light and airy polyamide fabric, requires specific care to maintain its delicacy:

• Washing : Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. Avoid rubbing and twisting which can damage the structure of the fabric.
• Drying : Hang the garment to air dry, away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying to avoid damaging the fabric.
• Ironing : Use a low-temperature iron on the reverse side or a steamer to remove wrinkles without the risk of burning.

Cotton: Simplicity and Resilience

Cotton is a natural fiber that is durable and easy to care for. To ensure its longevity:

• Washing : Cotton can generally be machine washed at a moderate temperature (30-40°C) with similar colours. Use a mild detergent to preserve the fibres.
• Drying : Air drying is recommended. If using a dryer, choose a low heat cycle to avoid shrinkage.
• Ironing : Iron at medium to high temperature on the reverse side to avoid iron marks. Steam can be used to make ironing easier.

General Advice

• Storage : Store your clothes made of noble materials in a dry and ventilated place. Use padded hangers for delicate pieces such as silk and wool.
• Protection : Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can fade fabrics. Use breathable fabric covers for clothes you don't wear often.
• Dry Cleaning : For more valuable pieces or those requiring special care, use a trusted dry cleaning service.

By following these care tips, your Ani Arpé clothes will retain their beauty and quality, offering you elegance and comfort for many years. Take care of your pieces made of noble materials, and they will repay you with their durability and timeless look.
