CORDERA Care Guide

Caring for a piece properly helps extend its life and preserve its original appearance. Whenever possible, avoid unnecessary cleaning and allow garments to air naturally between wears.

Before cleaning any piece, always check the specific composition and care instructions provided on the garment label.

Protect garments and accessories from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures and excessive humidity, which may affect colour, texture and shape over time.

Avoid unnecessary friction and contact with abrasive surfaces, perfumes, oils or cosmetics, particularly when handling delicate fibres, leather and handcrafted pieces.

Store each piece according to its construction and materials, without excessive compression and in conditions that help preserve its original shape.

If a piece becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat, following any specific instructions provided on its care label.

For specialist cleaning, delicate materials or pieces requiring specific treatment, entrust the garment or accessory to an appropriate professional.

Minor variations in texture, colour or finish may occur naturally over time and are part of the characteristics of natural materials and artisanal production.

Natural fibres should be kept in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Woven pieces should preferably be stored on wide hangers to help preserve their shape and allowed to air naturally between wears.

When removing creases, steaming is preferable to direct ironing whenever appropriate, while always following the specific instructions on the garment label.

Knitwear should be folded and stored flat to preserve its shape and minimise unnecessary friction. Avoid hanging knitted pieces, as their weight may alter their original form over time.

Allow garments to rest and air naturally between wears.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of certain fibres. When it appears, it can be removed gently using a fine comb suitable for knitwear.

Delicate pieces should be stored on padded hangers and kept away from perfumes, cosmetics and sharp jewellery that may mark or damage the fabric.

When permitted by the care label, wash gently by hand in cold water or entrust the piece to a professional dry-cleaning service.

Delicate fabrics should never be wrung or tumble dried. Handle them carefully to help preserve their surface, shape and natural drape.

Leather pieces should be kept away from prolonged exposure to sunlight, excessive heat and moisture.

If the leather becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sources of heat.

A neutral leather balm may be applied occasionally to help maintain the material, provided it is suitable for the specific type and finish of leather.

Store leather pieces protected, preferably inside their dust bag, to minimise exposure to light, dust and friction.

Handmade beaded bags should be handled with care and kept away from oils, perfumes and other substances that may affect their surface or finish.

Avoid carrying excessive weight, as this may place unnecessary tension on the handcrafted structure and handles.

Store the bag flat inside its protective dust bag and avoid hanging it by the handles for prolonged periods.

Embroidered pieces should be turned inside out and stored folded whenever possible, helping protect handcrafted details from friction and snagging.

Avoid machine washing. Cleaning should be entrusted to a specialist familiar with delicate and embroidered garments.

Particular care should be taken when wearing or storing these pieces near jewellery, accessories or other surfaces that may catch on the embroidery.

Footwear should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place, protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

Shoe trees can be used to help preserve the original shape between wears.

Rotating pairs and allowing footwear to rest naturally between uses helps moisture dissipate and supports the preservation of the materials over time.
