We advise you to clean your items separately on the reverse side, without adding fabric softener or bleach. Using the dryer risks damaging your velvet pants. Prefer drying in the open air . To preserve the colors of your clothes for a long time, avoid direct exposure to the sun's rays.

Ironing short velvet, ribbed or milleraies pants

Velvet is a textile that marks easily. Always iron your women's velvet pants inside out, without applying strong pressure so as not to crush the fibers. Is your clothing slightly wrinkled? Use the steam function on your iron and gently brush your pants. Steam gently removes wrinkles.
