FAQs

Is this sweater machine washable?

No, it is highly recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve the integrity of the cashmere fibers.

Does the Bolsena sweater run true to size?

Yes, this model corresponds to standard sizing, with this specific unit being a size XS (UK 8).

Can I hang this sweater in my closet?

It is not recommended. Hanging can stretch the fabric; it is best to store it folded.

Is the cashmere scratchy against the skin?

Max Mara uses high-quality cashmere known for being exceptionally soft and comfortable against the skin.

How should I handle accidental spills?

Blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub the fabric. Seek professional cleaning assistance for stubborn stains.

Troubleshooting

Small fabric pills appearing on the surface

Use a high-quality fabric shaver or a cashmere comb to gently remove pills without damaging the knit.

Garment seems slightly stretched after wear

Fold the sweater and store it flat to allow the natural fibers to recover their shape.

Wrinkles from storage

Hang the sweater in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes or use a steamer on a low setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Max Mara garment lasts for seasons to come, prioritize gentle care. Since this is an XS size (UK 8), it is designed for a precise, regular fit. Always store the sweater folded in a breathable garment bag or drawer—hanging cashmere for extended periods can cause the shoulders to lose their shape and the material to stretch. If the garment becomes wrinkled, use a handheld steamer from a safe distance rather than an iron, which can crush the fibers. We strongly recommend professional dry cleaning. If you must wash it at home, use a cold-water cycle specifically formulated for wool or cashmere and lay the garment flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight.
