how to care for vintage and antique textiles

TEXTILE CARE

Due to the delicacy of our vintage and antique textiles, we strongly recommend the following :

  • handwash all items in cool water
  • wash hand-dyed pieces separate from others for color fastness
  • dry items on delicate cycle or in the sunshine
  • gently iron our textile pieces on low to medium heat to ensure color fastness and fiber strength.

NATURAL DYED TEXTILES

Our hand-dyed English Staple pieces should be washed separate from all other garments for a few washes. This ensures color fastness.

*Please wash by hand and dry on delicate or via sunshine.

SETTING UP YOUR SHADE COVER

Most of our small scrunchie shade covers fit lampshade sizes of 4 in x 6 in x 5 in and fit all shade styles (ie candle, pendant, gimble etc). Our lampshade covers can be placed on table lamps, pendant lights, and wall lights).

SIZING :

While there is some flexibility in size, we do suggest sticking as close to possible to the shade size to ensure correct fit. You are also welcome to purchase shades on our website that fit with our scrunchie shade covers. We recommend adjusting the ruffle to suit your preference and also fluff the pleats to your desired look. 

FABRIC COVERED PICTURE FRAMES

Our frames are hand constructed and laid with our vintage and antique textiles. If your frame has some slight wrinkling, you may use an iron on low heat (no steam) to gently iron out any wrinkles
