At Ebony Fashion Store, we believe in fashion that transcends time, combining style, quality, and sustainability. Proper care not only preserves the beauty of each product but also reduces its environmental impact. With these recommendations, you will be able to enjoy your garments and other items (bags, jewelry, etc.) for longer, keeping them impeccable and supporting more conscious fashion.
Essential tips for caring for textile products
- Wash at low temperatures: Hot water accelerates fabric wear and consumes more energy. Washing at low temperatures helps preserve colors, maintain the original shape of the garment, and reduce CO₂ emissions.
- Use gentle spins: Select a delicate wash program to prevent pilling and reduce the release of microfibers. Additionally, placing the garment in a laundry bag will provide an extra layer of protection.
- Turn your clothes inside out before washing: Washing clothes inside out helps preserve colors and minimizes friction with other garments, reducing wear and maintaining fabric quality.
- Air dry instead of using a dryer: Natural drying is the best option to preserve the structure of garments. Whenever possible, avoid the dryer, as it can shrink and weaken fabrics while consuming a lot of energy.
- Opt for responsible professional washes: If you need specialized cleaning, choose dry cleaners that use eco-friendly methods, such as wet cleaning or more sustainable dry cleaning technologies.
Essential tips for caring for our jewelry
We offer pieces made of stainless steel and some gold-plated, materials that are durable and easy to maintain. By following these recommendations, you can enjoy your jewelry for longer, keeping its elegance and quality impeccable.
- Avoid contact with chemicals: Perfumes, creams, soaps, and cleaning products can affect the shine and durability of gold plating. We recommend putting on your jewelry after applying these products.
- Remove jewelry before showering or exercising: Water, sweat, and moisture can accelerate wear on gold-plated pieces. To preserve them better, remove them before showering, swimming, or engaging in intense physical activities.
- Clean with a soft cloth: To maintain their shine, clean your jewelry with a dry microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, use warm water with mild soap on stainless steel pieces, avoiding harsh rubbing on gold-plated jewelry.
- Store them properly: To avoid scratches and tangles, store your jewelry in individual cases or fabric pouches. Keep them away from moisture and dust.
- Avoid impacts and friction: While stainless steel is durable, jewelry can get scratched with daily use. Handle them carefully and avoid contact with rough or hard surfaces.
Essential tips for caring for metallic accessories
Metallic accessories add a touch of sophistication and style to any look. At Ebony Fashion Store, we select high-quality pieces to ensure their durability. However, metallic finishes require certain care to maintain their shine and avoid wear over time.
- Avoid contact with chemicals: Perfumes, creams, alcohol, and cleaning products can deteriorate the metallic finish. We recommend applying these products before putting on the accessories.
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth: To remove fingerprints and maintain shine, use a dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with water and dry immediately.
- Store them properly: Keep your accessories in individual cases or a fabric bag to prevent scratches and prolonged exposure to air, which could affect the finish.
- Avoid moisture and excessive heat: Prolonged contact with water or exposure to intense heat sources can damage the metallic surface. Avoid wearing these accessories on rainy days or in humid environments.
- Handle with care: Metallic accessories can be delicate and prone to small scratches. Treat them gently and avoid rubbing against rough surfaces or impacts that may affect the finish.
Essential tips for caring for leather products
Natural leather is a noble, durable, and timeless material that adds elegance to any accessory. With these care tips, your leather items will stay impeccable, showcasing their elegance and quality over time.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and moisture: Excessive heat can dry out leather and cause cracks, while moisture can create stains or deformities. Store your accessories in a cool, dry place.
- Clean with a soft cloth and specific products: To remove dust and dirt, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, opt for products specifically designed for natural leather, applying them with gentle, circular motions.
- Hydrate the leather periodically: Just like human skin, this material needs hydration to stay flexible and avoid cracks. Use creams or waxes designed for natural leather, applying them sparingly.
- Store them properly: To maintain the shape of bags and other accessories, store them filled with tissue paper and in their protective cases. Avoid leaving them in direct contact with other items to prevent rubbing.
- Avoid contact with liquids and chemicals: Perfumes, creams, alcohol, or oils can alter the color and texture of the leather. Apply these products before using your accessories and avoid accidental spills.
