The character of a garment begins with the fabric. The touch, texture, and drape are all part of our way of understanding clothing. Knowing the materials also helps you care for them and enjoy them for longer.
Wool and cashmere
Wool brings structure and texture to many autumn and winter garments. Cashmere is a fiber prized for its soft feel. The exact composition varies by model: always check the product description and the inner label.
To preserve these garments, it is best to avoid unnecessary washing and to follow their care instructions. When the label indicates dry clean only, consult a professional.
Tweed, herringbone, and checks
Tweed is recognized by the richness of its surface and its nuances. Herringbone and checks describe patterns and fabric structures, not necessarily different compositions. At VALRIC, we are drawn to them because they add depth to garments without the need for artifice.
To keep a structured jacket or coat looking its best, avoid storing it compressed and use a proper hanger that respects the shape of the shoulders.
Linen
Linen is one of the protagonists of our summer wardrobe. Its texture and natural wrinkles are part of its personality. After each use, let the garment air out and consult its label before washing or ironing.
Cotton, flannel, and poplin
Cotton appears in our shirts and accessories. Flannel and poplin provide different finishes and sensations: the former usually has a warmer touch; the latter, a smoother and more defined surface. Specific care depends on the composition and construction of each piece.
Caring for what you choose
The label on each garment is always the primary reference: its indications take precedence over any general recommendation. Before applying heat, water, or cleaning products, check the composition and the corresponding instructions.
