How to store your cape
- Always clean your garments before storing – this helps prevent odours, stains and build-up of dirt.
- Fold, rather than hang. This will help garments retain their shape while in storage. Using 100% cotton or wool bags is much safer for delicate clothing as they allow the clothes to breathe.
- Check on your garments every now and then and make sure no moisture has appeared or any insects have crept inside.
How to iron a cape
Maintaining a wrinkle-free appearance is key to showcasing the beauty of your cape.
Whether you’re planning your outfit for a business meeting, an aperitivo or you’re traveling, ensure your cape looks its best.
To protect the cape's fabric from direct heat, place a clean pressing cloth, such as a cotton or linen cloth, between the iron and the cape.
How to clean a cape
Some capes may require dry cleaning, while others can be hand washed or machine washed on a delicate cycle.
Always refer to the care label and any additional guidelines to prevent any damage or shrinkage.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can degrade the fabric over time.
How to Reattach a Button
You can easily reattach it with these simple steps:
- Locate the loose button and gather a needle;
- Thread your needle with a single strand of thread;
- Align the loose button with the corresponding loop;
- Pass the needle through one of the buttonholes, then bring it back down through another buttonhole. Repeat 3 or 4 times to create a secure attachment;
- Tie a secure knot with the thread.
