  • Description text wash guide:
    I always think it’s best to wash infrequently and avoid over washing, as this helps garments live a bit longer.
    this garment in any of these chosen fabrics can be hand washed, machine washed at 30 or dry cleaned


    tips:
    loosely tie straps together in a loose bow to save them getting too tangled - alternatively wash in a netted bag
    steam iron after washing, ironing the straps is worth it trust me!

    all of these cloths take a bit of breaking in for them to really feel yours
