Less is more when it comes to washing your beautiful cashmere piece. Unless stained, we recommend washing after 3 or 4 wears. For ultimate longevity, wash your Olivier London cashmere piece in cold water with a mild detergent, such as Woollite.
Before washing, undo all buttons and turn your garment inside-out. If your piece is stained, brush off the stain and soak for 20 minutes before rinsing. Cashmere is at its most delicate when wet, so never wring or pull your wet cashmere as it will stretch beyond repair. When thoroughly rinsed with cold water, gently press excess water out of your garment and place it on a dry towel and carefully roll it up. Once the towel has absorbed as much moisture as possible, shape the garment back to its original shape, fasten buttons and lay flat in a shady spot to dry.
We understand that time is precious in modern-day living, and that following these instructions every wash can be time-consuming. If required, your cashmere piece may be machine washed on a cold wash and low spin if you have that setting. If you need your garment in a hurry before it has dried, you may pop it in the dryer for 5 minutes to speed things up. After 5 minutes, reshape and lie flat.
Important: Do not machine wash or tumble dry Olivier London cashmere hats featuring pom-poms. In this instance, only hand wash as the pom-pom will shrink and become less stable on the hat.
