Care Guide

We believe the most loved garments are the ones that last.



Swimwear

Crochet Swim

Our crochet bikinis are handmade using delicate fibres and natural embellishments that require gentle care.

How to Wash

  • Hand wash only in cold water with similar colours.
  • Use a mild detergent designed for delicate garments.
  • Do not soak. Extended soaking may cause colour fading.
  • Be especially gentle around shells, beads, and natural fibres.
  • Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

How to Dry

  • Lay the bikini flat on a clean towel.
  • Roll the towel up with the garment inside to gently remove excess water.
  • Never wring, twist, or squeeze the bikini, as this can stretch the fibres and cause it to lose its shape over time.
  • Dry flat in the shade to dry.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, which can accelerate fading. Drying flat rather than hanging helps maintain the shape of crochet garments and prevents stretching.

Storage

Store your bikini flat in a drawer when not in use. Avoid hanging crochet pieces, as the weight of the garment can gradually stretch the fibres and alter the fit.

Extra Care Tips

  • Do not wear in chlorine as the harsh chemicals will wear down the fibres and fade the colour.
  • Rinse after swimming to remove salt, sunscreen, and oils.
  • Avoid rough surfaces that may snag the crochet.
  • Allow the piece to fully dry before storing.
  • Spot clean small marks where possible instead of washing after every wear.
Hand-Beaded Bikinis

Our hand-beaded bikinis feature delicate beadwork that is individually attached by hand.

How to Wash

  • Hand wash only in cold water with like colours.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Do not soak.
  • Handle carefully to protect the beadwork.
  • Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

How to Dry

  • Lay flat on a towel and roll to remove excess water.
  • Never wring or twist.
  • You may hang these pieces to dry, however laying flat is still the gentlest option for preserving shape.
  • Avoid tumble drying.

Storage

  • Store flat or folded neatly when not in use.

Extra Care Tips

  • Avoid excessive pulling on the beadwork.
  • Be mindful of jewellery, rough surfaces, and sharp edges that may catch on embellishments.
  • Wash only when necessary to prolong the life of the garment.

Resort wear

Crochet clothing

Our crochet clothing is handmade and designed to last, but like all crochet garments, it benefits from a little extra care.

How to Wash

  • Hand wash only in cold water with like colours.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Do not soak.
  • Gently move the garment through the water without scrubbing.
  • Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

How to Dry

  • Lay the garment flat on a towel.
  • Roll the towel to absorb excess water.
  • Never wring or twist.
  • Reshape the garment while damp if needed.
  • Dry flat in the shade. Drying flat helps prevent stretching and distortion.

Storage

Always fold and store crochet garments flat in a drawer.

Do not hang crochet clothing, even when dry. Crochet can be surprisingly heavy, and hanging may cause the garment to stretch out of shape over time.

Extra Care Tips

  • Air garments between wears to keep them fresh.
  • Spot clean whenever possible.
  • Avoid rough surfaces that may pull or snag the fibres.
  • Ensure garments are completely dry before storing.
Linen, Cotton & Embroidered Clothing

Our clothing collections feature premium natural fibres including cotton, linen, hemp blends, and pieces with hand embroidery, shell detailing, and artisan finishes.

How to Wash

  • Hand wash only in cold water with similar colours.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Spot clean where possible to reduce unnecessary washing.
  • When a full wash is needed, gently hand wash without scrubbing.
  • Never place embroidered or shell-detailed garments in the washing machine, as agitation can damage embellishments and delicate stitching.
  • Avoid hot water, which may cause shrinkage, fading, or misshaping of natural fibres. Cold water is generally recommended for delicate and embellished garments to help minimise shrinkage and colour loss.

How to Dry

  • Lay the garment flat on a towel and roll to remove excess water.
  • Never wring or twist.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry in the shade.
  • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can contribute to fading over time.

Ironing

  • Iron while the fabric is still slightly damp, or lightly mist it with water before ironing. This allows creases to release more easily.
  • Use a medium to high heat setting suitable for natural fibres, following the care label where applicable.
  • Iron on the reverse side where possible to help protect the fabric and minimise shine.
  • Avoid ironing over stains, as heat can permanently set them into the fabric.

Storage

  • Store clean, dry garments in a cool, dry place.

Extra Care Tips

  • Fasten buttons and ties before washing to help garments maintain their shape.
  • Treat stains promptly rather than allowing them to set.
  • Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and fabric softeners.
  • Natural fibres soften beautifully over time when cared for correctly.
Pareos

Our pareos are crafted from 100% organic cotton voile - a lightweight, breathable natural fibre chosen for its soft feel and effortless drape. With the right care, your piece will remain beautiful for years to come.

How to Wash

  • Cold hand wash only with similar colours using a mild detergent.
  • Spot clean where possible to minimise unnecessary washing.
  • Gently wash without rubbing, scrubbing or wringing.
  • Do not bleach.

How to Dry

  • Gently press out excess water - do not twist or wring.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry in the shade.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help preserve colour.

Ironing

  • Iron on a low heat if needed.

Extra care

As cotton voile is a delicate fabric, please take care around rough surfaces and avoid pulling the fabric or wearing sharp jewellery or accessories that may catch the weave.
