Style & Care Guide

A short guide to choosing well, wearing what you own, and keeping it looking good for longer. Nothing here is complicated — but a little care goes a long way.

How we choose each piece

Every item in the shop is picked for how it feels in the hand and how it behaves after a few washes. We look for seams that sit flat, colours that stay true once they have been through the machine, and cuts that flatter more than one body. Pieces that come back looking tired are not reordered; the ones that hold up are.

Getting the fit right

Fit is the difference between something you wear every week and something that lives at the back of a drawer. Measure yourself rather than trusting the label: bust, waist, hip and inseam cover most garments. Compare those numbers against the size guide on the product page, then read the fabric note, because a little stretch changes how a piece sits. Between two sizes, choose the larger and have it taken in — letting a seam out is far harder than taking one in.

Caring for what you own

Wash less, and wash cooler. Heat is what fades colour and shrinks fibre, and most garments need less detergent than the bottle suggests. Turn prints and knits inside out, wash similar colours together, and dry flat or on a line wherever you can. Give a knit a day to rest between wears so the yarn springs back, and fold heavy pieces rather than hanging them, so shoulders keep their shape.

Building a wardrobe that lasts

Start with what you actually reach for, and replace it with a better version when it wears out. A handful of pieces that fit properly and work together will do more for you than a season of impulse buys. Repair before you replace: a re-sewn button, a mended hem or a resoled shoe costs very little and keeps a favourite in rotation for years.
