Caring for Vintage

Apparel

Correctly laundering your vintage pieces helps to ensure their longevity. Only wash as needed, and remember that certain materials are more delicate than others. Do not wash your vintage pieces in hot water or dry them in the dryer, as heat can break down the fibers.

Spot treat blazers and coats with a laundering bar and cool water. Avoid putting them into a washing machine.

For materials that can be submerged, wash with cold water by hand or on your washing machine's delicate cycle.

Certain special detergents can further help to protect your delicate vintage pieces. Air dry your items outdoors on a clothesline or indoors on a clothing rack.

For items such as luxury designer pieces that specify dry-cleaning on the label, be sure to follow those instructions.

Ironing is not recommended. To de-wrinkle vintage pieces, a handheld steamer is ideal.

Rêveur is not responsible for damaged or incorrectly laundered pieces once they have left our care for yours.

Jewelry

Remove your vintage jewelry before showering, swimming or sweating. Polish gently and regularly with a soft cloth and store in a dry place, like our complementary jewelry pouch.
