GARMENT CARE GUIDELINE

Indicated below are general care instructions according to fabric. For safe results, always test laundering on a small or hidden area of the garment first.

Please note that these are general recommendations. For more accurate guidelines, please follow the specific care instructions indicated on the garment label.
