Cherish

Every garment by Cunnington & Sanderson is special, with its own unique story to tell. Draped on the body and created by hand, each piece is a wearable work of art.

Caring for your clothes is one of the most powerful acts of slow fashion. The longer a garment is loved and worn, the less impact it has on the environment — reducing waste, conserving resources, and choosing quality over quantity.

To keep your garment looking and feeling its best, always follow the care instructions on the wash label inside your garment — these have been chosen specifically for the fabric and construction of your piece.

Washing

• Wash less. Skip washing after just one wear unless the item is visibly dirty or has an odour.
• Turn inside out. Protect the outer fabric and colours from rubbing and fading.
• Use cold water. Hot water breaks down fibres and fades colours quickly.
• Choose a gentle cycle. Reduce the heavy spinning that puts stress on seams.
• Use a mesh bag. Place delicate items in a zip bag to avoid snags.

Drying & Storing

• Air dry. Hang clothes or lay them flat — heat from a dryer shrinks and damages threads.
• Skip fabric softeners. They coat fibres, trapping dirt and weakening stretch over time.
• Fold heavy knitwear. Never hang sweaters or the shoulders will lose their shape.
• Use good hangers. Wooden or padded hangers preserve the shape of coats and structured pieces.
• Keep away from direct sunlight. Light fades colours even when clothes are stored.

Repair & Maintenance

• Fix small issues quickly. Sew a loose button or a tiny split before it becomes a bigger problem.

If you're ever unsure, please don't hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team. We're always happy to walk you through the care process for your garment.
