Breathable
Cotton is a naturally breathable fabric that helps keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day. Soft against the skin and easy to wear, it’s a reliable choice for everyday comfort no matter the season.
Hypoallergenic
Known for its hypoallergenic qualities, cotton is kind to the skin and suitable for everyday wear. It’s a comfortable option for those who prefer fabrics that feel soft and irritation-free.
Care Instructions
1. Washing
To keep your cotton clothes in great shape, machine wash on a gentle or normal cycle in cold water with like colours.
2. Drying
You should ideally air dry them to avoid any shrinkage but, if you’re really short on time, put them in the dryer on a low heat setting. Not only does air-dying help your garments last it is also better for the planet!
3. Storing
To keep the crinkle look alive, twist the fabric in a rope once it's almost dry to emphasise the crinkle effect. The "rope" can be stored in your drawers with the rest of the clothes and can be untwisted when you are ready to wear it!
