Nurturing Artisanal Treasures Across Generations

Handmade luxury textiles, organic leathers, and precious silver require natural care routines. Follow our atelier preservation guide to ensure your pieces age gracefully.

Cashmere & Hand-Spun Pashmina

Natural Wool & Silk

Pashmina fibers are delicate natural proteins. Proper washing preserves the ultra-soft loft and vibrant organic dye tones.

01. Gentle Hand Wash

Immerse in lukewarm water using a pH-neutral organic wool wash or mild baby shampoo. Gently press water through—never wring or rub the fabric.

02. Flat Air Drying

Roll softly in a clean dry cotton towel to absorb excess moisture, then dry flat away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

03. Cedarwood Storage

Store folded in breathable organic cotton dust bags with natural cedarwood rings to protect from moths and moisture accumulation.

Full-Grain Leather Totes

Vegetable-Tanned Hide

Vegetable-tanned leather naturally develops a rich, golden patina over time when properly conditioned.

01. Organic Balm Conditioning

Apply a thin layer of natural beeswax or almond-oil leather balm every 4-6 months to nourish hides and maintain suppleness.

02. Water Defense

If exposed to rainwater, blot immediately with an absorbent soft cloth and dry at room temperature. Never use hair dryers or radiators.

03. Shape Maintenance

Fill with acid-free tissue paper when storing to retain structural silhouette without stressing natural leather seams.

925 Sterling Silver & Fine Gemstones

Heirloom Jewelry

Authentic sterling silver oxidizes naturally upon exposure to air and skin oils. Maintain its brilliant luster effortlessly.

01. Microfiber Buffing

Wipe clean after each wear with a soft, untreated jewelry microfiber cloth to remove skin oils and air oxidation.

02. Chemical Avoidance

Put on silver jewelry after applying perfumes, hairsprays, and organic lotions to avoid tarnishing reaction with essential oils.

03. Airtight Storage

Keep individual pieces in anti-tarnish velvet pouches inside an airtight casket away from ambient moisture.
