Caring for cashmere, piqué and linen

The pieces of the Maison are made to last for many seasons. A few simple gestures keep cashmere soft and piqué cotton bright, from one summer on the Riviera to the next. Always follow the instructions on the label of each piece.

Cashmere

  • Let it rest: after wearing it, leave the sweater to breathe for a day before folding it.
  • Wash by hand, in cold or lukewarm water with a delicate detergent, without rubbing or wringing.
  • Dry flat on a towel, away from the sun and from sources of heat, giving it back its shape by hand.
  • Fold, never hang: on a hanger cashmere loses its shape.
  • Store with cedar or lavender, in a cotton bag, to protect it from moths.
  • Pilling is natural in the first wears: remove it with a cashmere comb.

Piqué cotton

  • Wash inside out at 30 °C with similar colours, to keep the embroidery of the crest intact.
  • Avoid the tumble dryer: dry in the shade, on a hanger, buttoning the placket.
  • Iron inside out at medium temperature, never directly on the embroidery.

Linen

Linen loves water and air: wash it at low temperature, dry it in the open air and iron it still slightly damp. Its natural creases are part of its charm on the Riviera.

Leather and silk

Clean the braided belt with a soft cloth and a little leather cream; let it rest flat. The silk carré is dry-cleaned; to store it, roll it rather than fold it.
