Bedding

Sheet Sets, Shams, and Duvet Covers

Care Instructions
Bedding should be washed every one to two weeks. Our 100% Italian Cotton Sateen will soften in the wash.

Shrinkage and Fit

Slight shrinkage is expected during the first wash cycle. Our bedding was designed with this in mind and bedding will have an appropriately snug fit after wash.
Cleaning

We recommend that all of bedding products be washed before use.

Machine wash warm. Tumble dry low. Warm iron as needed. Wool dryer balls can help with even drying. Wash items made of the same fiber content together. Do not bleach.

Our 100% Italian Cotton Sateen offers a subtle sheen that will gradually lose its luster with each wash and a smooth feel that increases with wash and use.

 

Curtains

Care Instructions

Curtains should be washed two to four times per year. Vacuuming in between washes will help reduce dust and allergens.

Shrinkage

Shrinkage may occur during the first wash cycle up to 7% in length. To avoid shrinkage, consider taking to a green dry cleaner or vacuum cleaning only.

Machine wash warm on a gentle/delicate setting. Tumble dry low. Warm iron as needed.
