Style That Lasts

Every garment has a lifecycle: make → wear → care → repair → resell → recycle. Extending the ‘wear’ phase is the most impactful thing you can do, and in this module, I will be teaching you how.

Smart Care Habits

• Wash cold (≤30 °C) to save energy and reduce colour fade and fibre damage.
• Air dry flat or on hangers; tumble only, when necessary, as heat weakens elastane and shrinks wool.
• Avoid overfilling clothes in the wash, it causes friction/pilling; under loading wastes water and energy.
• Avoid fabric softeners they coat fibres and reduce absorbency of the clothes.
• Steam & air clothes between wears to refresh odours and kill bacteria without a full wash.

Fashion First Aid Essentials

Keep these items handy for quick fixes:

• needles (universal + denim)
• threads (poly for strength, cotton for heat safe)
• small scissors
• thimble
• seam ripper
• patch scraps
