Linen, a natural and precious fiber, is used in the fashion world for its softness, breathability, and resistance. For over twenty years, 100% Capri has made this noble fabric the exclusive essence of its high fashion collections, thoroughly studying its peculiarities and characteristics to best exploit its potential.

For this reason, we always recommend to our customers that, in order to maintain the quality of the fabric and make linen clothing last over time, it is important to take care of them properly. Here are some tips to ensure that their beauty and quality remain unchanged over the years.

Washing

Linen can be hand washed or machine washed, but it is important to follow some rules to avoid damaging the fabric. Before washing them, it is essential to read the instructions on their label to know the manufacturer's recommendations.

In general, it is advisable to hand wash linen clothing in cold or lukewarm water, using a mild detergent and without bleach. Also, it is important to avoid mixing linen clothing with those made of other fabrics, to prevent them from rubbing and damaging each other.

Drying

After careful washing, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the drying of linen clothes to prevent them from shrinking or deforming. It is preferable to hang them outside, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight, which could fade them.

Alternatively, it is possible to use a dryer at low temperatures, but it is necessary to avoid leaving them too long and to remove them while still slightly damp, to prevent them from shrinking.

Ironing

Linen is a fabric that tends to wrinkle, but it can be easily ironed to restore its beauty and natural linearity of weaves. Before ironing linen clothes, it is important to check the iron temperature and adjust it according to the manufacturer's label instructions.

It is also preferable to use a cotton or linen cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid damaging or burning it. In general, it is recommended to iron linen clothes when they are still slightly damp: this trick makes the process smoother and ensures greater preservation of one's clothes.

Storage

Finally, to maintain the quality of linen clothe s over time, it is important to store them properly by keeping them in a cool and dry place, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat sources.

Moreover, it is strongly recommended not to hang them with too short hangers or fold them too tightly, to prevent them from deforming or forming permanent creases.

Thanks to its experience and attention to detail, 100% Capri has become a world leader in the production of high fashion linen clothing made exclusively of pure linen. By following these simple tips for washing, drying, ironing, and storing linen clothes, you can ensure that the taste, sophistication, and style of its creations endure over time.
