Care & Maintenance
To preserve this statement piece for years of wear:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Use cool water with mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that may fade the damask pattern
- Air Dry Only: Lay flat or hang to dry; heat damages spandex and polyester fibers
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a garment bag to prevent dust accumulation
- Metal Hardware Care: Gently wipe clasps and buckles with a soft cloth; patina is character, but polish as desired
- Lacing: Periodically check lace integrity; replace if fraying occurs (replacement laces available)
