What to choose

- Blouses — viscose and silk blends adorned with romantic details.
- Knitwear — soft wool and alpaca blends.
- Leather pieces — jackets and skirts in supple leather.
Caring for delicate fabrics
Viscose, silk, and alpaca require gentle care.
- Hand wash silk and viscose in cold water or have them professionally dry cleaned.
- Alpaca and mohair: dry flat and never wring out.
- Use a garment steamer rather than an iron on delicate weaves.
- Store knitwear folded; hanging will stretch the fibres.
