FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?

The blend offers exceptional softness, natural warmth, breathability, and odor resistance, making it comfortable and practical for everyday wear.

How does the odor resistance work?

Merino wool fibers have a natural ability to absorb and neutralize odor molecules, allowing the garment to be worn multiple times between washes.

Can I machine wash this top?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle wool program at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent. However, hand washing is recommended for optimal care, especially for the lace trim.

How should I dry the top?

Do not tumble dry. Lay the garment flat to dry, away from direct heat and sunlight, to maintain its shape and the integrity of the fibers.

Is this top suitable for sensitive skin?

The blend of fine merino wool and silk is known for its softness and breathability, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

What occasions is this strap top best for?

It is ideal as a base layer for daily wear, travel, or light outdoor activities. The feminine details also make it suitable for comfortable loungewear.

How does the fit feel?

The top has a body-hugging fit, designed to be close to the skin for maximum comfort and thermal regulation as a base layer.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that all detergent has been rinsed out. Reshape the garment while damp and allow it to dry flat. For future washes, be sure to use the gentle cycle and appropriate detergent.

Lace trim appears to be stretching or snagging.

Handle the lace trim with extra care during washing and drying. Avoid direct contact with rough surfaces. If a snag occurs, do not pull; try to gently tuck it back in. Consider hand washing exclusively to minimize stress on the trim.

Top loses its shape after wear.

Merino wool and silk blends have natural elasticity. Reshape the garment gently after washing and drying it flat. For minor shape loss during wear, hanging it can help it regain its form.
