Washing & Cleaning

To maintain the quality and longevity of your embroidered linen piece:

• Dry clean or hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist the fabric
• Wash dark and embroidered pieces separately to prevent colour transfer
• Avoid bleach and harsh chemical detergents

Drying & Ironing

• Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight
• Do not tumble dry — heat may shrink the linen and damage embroidery
• Iron on low heat, ideally while the garment is slightly damp
• Place a protective cloth between the iron and the embroidery to preserve detail

Storage

• Store flat or on a padded hanger to protect the embroidery and shoulder shape
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light
• Use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage — avoid plastic, which traps moisture

Daily Wear

• Apply perfumes, deodorants, and lotions before dressing — never directly onto the fabric
• Handle the embroidered areas gently, especially when putting the piece on and taking it off
• Address small marks or spills promptly to avoid setting

A Note on Linen & Embroidery

Pure linen naturally softens and develops character with wear — slight creasing is part of its honest beauty, not a flaw. Our hand-finished embroidery is crafted in small batches, and minor variations between pieces are a signature of the artisanal process.

With gentle care, your ZALXNDRA piece is made to last for years.
