At Branna Couture, we believe that looking fabulous goes hand in hand with taking care of your stylish pieces. Proper care will not only extend the life of your wardrobe but also keep you sharp and polished every day. Here is how you can keep your Branna Couture garments in top-notch condition, whether you are rocking our stunning dresses or our warm, luxurious coats.

General Care Tips

Read the Labels: Every product has specific care details on how it should be treated. Always look at the label for best practices on washing, drying, and ironing.

Separate Your Colors: When you put clothes in the washing machine, separate darks from lights to prevent colors from bleeding. This simple step helps maintain the vibrancy of your pieces.

Avoid Over-Washing: Too much washing can wear a garment out if it is not visibly dirty or doesn't have odors. Why wash it? Air it out instead.

Use Gentle Detergents: Using mild detergents free of harsh chemicals is best for your fabrics, especially where delicate fabrics require gentleness.

Store Properly: After cleaning, store your garments correctly. Use padded hangers for delicate items and fold heavier pieces to retain their shape.

Care Instructions by Category

Dresses

The dress is the jack-of-all-trades, suitable for both daytime events and nighttime outings. Here’s how to care for them:

  • Washing: Most dresses can be hand washed or machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle. If the dress has any embellishments or sequins, it is highly advisable to hand wash or dry clean.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Ironing: Smooth out wrinkles with a low-heat iron or a steamer.

Coats

Coats tend to be very expensive, so treat them well:

  • Cleaning: Most coats are dry clean only. If your coat is machine washable, it can be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle.
  • Storage: To retain their shape, hang coats on wide hangers. During off-seasons, consider storing them in garment bags for extra protection against dust and moths.

Jackets

From casual to tailored, jackets can really lift an outfit:

  • Care: Spot clean when necessary and refer to care labels for specific washing instructions.
  • Maintenance: For leather jackets, consider using a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Jeans & Pants

Casual, comfortable, and stylish, jeans and pants require some care:

  • Washing: Turn jeans inside out before washing to protect the color. Wash in cold water and hang to dry when possible.
  • Storing: Fold or hang to avoid creases. Store in a cool, dry place.

Tops

Whether a casual tee or a fancy blouse, tops require special care:

  • Washing: Hand wash or use the delicate cycle in the washing machine with cold water. For delicate fabrics, use a garment bag.
  • Ironing: Iron inside out or steam to avoid shiny marks.

Skirts

Keep your skirts fresh as new:

  • Washing: Always check the fabric care instructions. Most skirts can be machine washed in cold water.
  • Hanging: Store skirts on clip hangers to help retain their shape and prevent creases.

Suits & Sets

Business and formal wear need the right care:

  • Dry Cleaning: Most suits require dry cleaning to maintain the structure and integrity of the fabric.
  • Storage: Always use suit covers while storing to keep away dust and other damages.

Sweaters & Knitwear

Knitwear needs that extra love:

  • Washing: Hand wash in cold water or use the delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry to avoid stretching.
  • Pilling: Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pilling and keep your sweaters feeling like new.

Footwear

Footwear can make or break an outfit:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down after every wear with a damp cloth. For leather shoes, use a leather conditioner.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; shoe trees may be used to help maintain the shoe's shape.

Special Care by Fabric Type

  • Silk: Dry clean or hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not wring to avoid damage.
  • Linen: Linen wrinkles easily; it should be stored folded. Iron while still slightly damp at a high temperature.
  • Wool: Use a delicate wash in wool wash. No hot water. Dry flat to retain shape.
