Caring for Your Clothes

Caring for your clothing is essential to maintaining its quality and extending its life. By choosing well-made, durable pieces, you invest in a wardrobe that stands the test of time. When it’s time to part ways with an item, consider donating, recycling, or reselling it to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Thoughtful choices today can make a lasting impact tomorrow.

Caring for Your DB Pieces

Wear your DB pieces with care and explore fresh ways to style them. Treat stains promptly, and avoid wearing heavy bags over delicate fabrics to prevent pilling or snags, especially on sequin or embellished items.

Washing and Freshening Up Your DB Pieces

Check the Label: Always follow the care instructions on each item’s label to avoid damage or shrinkage, especially for delicate fabrics like viscose, polyester linings, and cotton blends.

Wash Less: Over-washing can break down fabrics. Instead, air out, steam, or spot-treat as needed. Often, a quick airing is enough to refresh your DB pieces.

Hand Wash and Gentle Cycles: For delicate items, opt for hand washing or a gentle machine cycle. Use cooler water, even when the label suggests warm, to protect both the fabric and the environment.

Wash Inside Out: Preserve colors and prints by washing your DB pieces inside out and with similar colors.

Microfiber Bags: When washing synthetics like polyester, use a microfiber washing bag to prevent microplastics from reaching waterways.

Eco-Friendly Detergent: Choose a gentle, eco-friendly detergent without bleach to protect both your pieces and the planet. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat fibers and cause buildup over time.

Drying Your DB Pieces:

Avoid Tumble Drying: Air drying is the gentlest option for both your DB pieces and the environment. Lay flowy, pleated dresses flat to preserve their shape, and hang viscose or cotton items on a line or rack to dry.

Flat Drying: For delicate fabrics, flat drying helps maintain their shape and prevents stretching, ensuring your DB pieces stay in top condition.
