Clothing Care Guide

At SARA CRUX STUDIO, our mission is to avoid fabric waste, using deadstock fabrics and upcycling techniques. All the garments are handmade and have color and fabric mixing, and proper clothing care is essencial to preserving the beauty and longevity of these cherished pieces. Follow these guidelines to ensure your SARA CRUX STUDIO pieces remains a source of joy for years to come.

1. Read the Care Label:

Always start by checking the care label inside your clothing for specific care instructions. Each garment is unique and may require different care methods, especially those with delicate artisanal craftsmanship.

If in doubt please contact us.

2. Dry Cleaning:

Certain items can be dry cleaned, specially the following:

  • Pieces made with antique textiles

  • Beaded Items

  • Silk and wool

3. Seek Expertise in Dry Cleaning:

Choose a reputable dry cleaner experienced in handling delicate and luxury fabrics. Communicate the unique features of your artisanal pieces to the dry cleaner to ensure they receive the care they deserve.

4. Washing and Drying:

For the plain garments, with no textile mixing, can be laundered at home, follow these steps:

  • Separate colors to avoid bleeding.

  • Use a gentle, pH-balanced detergent to protect delicate fabrics.

  • Hand wash delicate items or use a gentle cycle with cold water in the machine.

  • Air dry whenever possible to prevent shrinkage and maintain the garment's shape.

5. Ironing:

Adjust the iron temperature based on the fabric type and always use a pressing cloth to protect delicate artisanal details.

6. Storing with Care:

  • Ensure garments are clean before storage to avoid attracting insects or developing stains.

  • Use breathable garment bags for storage, avoiding plastic covers that can trap moisture.

7. Treating Stains:

Treat stains promptly, but avoid DIY cleaning on artisanal pieces. For delicate items, seek professional assistance to prevent irreversible damage.

8. Embrace Sustainable Practices:

Caring for your clothing with attention and love contributes to sustainable fashion practices and helps preserve traditional craftsmanship.
