Altalana gives you some hints to transition your wardrobe to spring.
Spring is coming, at last, and it’s time to prepare your precious winter cashmere for a right storage in the warm season.
To show you how much we care for your cashmere, we give some precious hints that will help you to keep in perfect shape your cashmere and wool treasures.
1 – Check your cashmere
A perfect storage starts with a correct check: watch closely to your cashmere items, to find if there are holes to repair, strong stains to remove, pills to cut away.
2 – Pre-washing suggestions
Depill your cashmere and wool items with the right comb: this will increase their natural softness.
Sometimes sweater have a little smell to take away, for example in the underarms: before washing it could be good to put a little white vinegar in a spry bottle, and spray it on your item.
If you have found some stains, the better way to pre-treat them is using a delicate soap: even a shampoo could be useful.
3 – Hand washing is better
Wash your cashmere and wool with love, using a bassin of tepid water: if water is too warm, your item could shrink. Before washing, turn your item inside out, submerge it in the water and let it soak for five minutes.
If there are stains, treat them without rubbing too strongly, then rinse thoroughly but with care.
4 – Let it dry
Put your cashmere treasure on a dry towel, and gently roll it to let it take away all the remaining water. Then take another towel and lay your item on it, until it’s perfectly dry.
5 – Time to store it
Put your dresses in a bag, with some cedar balls or a little levender, to prevent the moths and prepare for yourself a beautiful perfume when the time will come to take them out again from your wardrobe.
And now that you have stored all your cashmere and wools, prepare to fill your wardrobe with the new Altalana spring collection…
