FAQs

What makes the Hana Jacket's materials special?

The jacket is made from a blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, and silk, chosen for their exceptional softness, warmth, and luxurious feel. These natural fibers are also breathable and offer hypoallergenic properties.

Are the materials ethically sourced?

Yes, the alpaca yarns are certified RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard) and the wool components are RWS (Responsible Wool Standard). These certifications guarantee the welfare of the animals and responsible land management.

How should I wash the Hana Jacket?

The jacket should be hand-washed cold with a mild detergent for delicates. Gently swish, do not wring, and rinse thoroughly. Dry flat, reshaping the garment while damp, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Can I put the jacket in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate fibers and cause shrinkage or loss of shape. Hand washing in cold water is the preferred method.

What does 'RAS' and 'RWS' certification mean?

RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard) and RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) are certifications that ensure the animals providing the wool and alpaca fiber are treated ethically, and that the land they graze on is managed responsibly.

Is this jacket suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the natural fibers used, particularly baby alpaca and cashmere, are often well-tolerated by individuals with sensitive skin due to their softness and lack of harsh processing.

Where are the Cortana jackets made?

The Cortana garments are made in small, specialized workshops located in the Italian region of Reggio Emilia, reflecting a commitment to traditional craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is a natural occurrence with fine fiber blends like cashmere and alpaca. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver designed for delicate garments or by carefully picking them off by hand. Avoid excessive friction during wear.

Garment has lost its shape after washing

Ensure the garment was dried flat and reshaped correctly while damp. For minor shape loss, re-wet the garment slightly and gently reshape, then dry flat again. Avoid hanging the garment, especially when wet.

Noticeable odor after storage

Air out the garment in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If the odor persists, a gentle hand wash following the care instructions may be necessary.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and softness of the natural fibers, please follow these care instructions carefully:

  1. Hand Wash Cold: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fibers. Gently swish the garment in cold water. Avoid wringing or twisting.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with cold water until all soap is removed.
  3. Absorb Excess Water: Gently press out excess water. Do not wring.
  4. Dry Flat: Lay the jacket flat on a clean towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Do not hang, as this can stretch the garment. Allow it to air dry completely.

  6. Dry Cleaning (Optional): If preferred, dry cleaning by a reputable cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics may be an option, but hand washing is generally recommended by the brand.
