Care Instructions
Your Vetitus pieces are designed to be worn, admired, and kept beautifully over time.
With the right care, you can help preserve delicate lace, soft fabrics, rich colour, and the overall feel of each piece for longer.
How to Care for Your Pieces
Delicate fabrics benefit from a gentler approach. For the best result, always check the care label on the garment first, then use the guidance below to help maintain softness, shape, and finish over time.
Before Washing
A little preparation helps protect delicate fabrics before they go anywhere near water.
Turn Garments Inside Out
This helps protect delicate surfaces, trims, embroidery, and colour from unnecessary friction during washing.
Fasten Hooks and Clasps
For bras, bodysuits, and other structured pieces, fastening closures before washing helps prevent snagging.
Separate with Care
Wash light and dark colours separately, and keep delicate items away from heavier fabrics such as denim, towels, or garments with zips and hardware.
Washing
Gentle washing helps preserve softness, stretch, and the finish of each piece.
Hand Wash Where Possible
For lingerie, lace, mesh, and more delicate fabrics, hand washing in cool water is always the gentlest option.
Use a Mild Detergent
Choose a gentle detergent suited to delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh products that may weaken fibres or affect softness.
Skip the Fabric Softener
Fabric softener can coat delicate materials and reduce the natural feel, stretch, and finish of certain fabrics.
Keep Temperatures Low
Always follow the care label on the garment. High temperatures can damage elasticity, distort shape, and shorten the life of the piece.
Use a Laundry Bag for Machine Washing
If a garment is suitable for machine washing, place it in a mesh laundry bag and use a delicate cycle.
Drying
How a piece is dried can matter just as much as how it is washed.
Do Not Tumble Dry
High heat can damage lace, elastic, mesh, and other delicate materials.
Air Dry Naturally
Lay flat or hang carefully to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Avoid Direct Sunlight for Long Periods
Prolonged sun exposure may fade colour, especially on darker or more vibrant tones.
Ironing
Most delicate pieces are best left unpressed, but a gentle approach can help when needed.
Use Low Heat Only If Needed
Most delicate pieces should not be ironed directly. If necessary, use a cool setting and place a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Do Not Iron Lace, Mesh, or Embellished Areas
These details are best left untouched to avoid damage.
Extra Care Tips
A few simple habits can help your pieces keep their shape and finish for longer.
Store with Care
Keep your pieces neatly folded or laid flat where possible. Avoid overcrowding drawers, especially for lace or structured styles.
Treat Delicate Fabrics Gently
Lingerie, hosiery, and lightweight pieces benefit from less frequent washing and more careful handling.
Follow the Garment Label
The care label on each item should always be your first point of reference, as instructions may vary depending on material and construction.
A Final Note
A little extra care goes a long way. Looking after your Vetitus pieces properly will help maintain their softness, shape, and finish, so they continue to feel as beautiful as the day they arrived.
