Garment Care

A wardrobe is a crowded place. Pieces hang shoulder to shoulder, and the ones you wear least take the most damage from the ones you wear most: a zip catches a knit, a buckle marks a silk sleeve, an embroidered shoulder rubs against the jacket beside it.

Garment Care is the part of the wardrobe that handles the in-between. Sheer organza covers that let you see the piece without opening anything, and let the fabric breathe rather than sealing damp against it. Part of Quiet Care.

Questions about garment care

What is in Garment Care?

Hanging garment covers in four lengths, all 58 cm wide: 70 cm for jackets and shirts, 90 cm for suits and short dresses, 120 cm for midi dresses and long overcoats, 150 cm for gowns and full-length coats.

What are they made of?

Sheer organza with a linen blend trim in ecru. Full-length front zip, an opening at the top for the hanger hook, and a carry loop. They are not velvet and not quilted. A garment cover wants to be light and breathable, which is the opposite of what a shaper wants to be.

Why sheer instead of an opaque garment bag?

You can see what is on the hanger without unzipping anything, which matters when several covers hang together. And a closed cover in plastic or non-woven traps damp against the fabric, which is what turns stored clothing musty in a humid season. An open weave lets air move through.

Why is the base left open?

So a longer piece can hang through rather than having its hem folded up to fit. The cover protects the shoulders and body, which is where a crowded rail does its damage, and never forces a hem.

How do I care for them?

Dry clean only. Keep out of direct sun.

What if I need to exchange something?

If a piece isn’t right, we run an exchange policy rather than refunds. See our Exchange & Refund Policy.
