CARING FOR THE KOOPLES CLOTHES AND
ACCESORIES
The Kooples is proud to offer high quality clothing and accessories that will last you for years to come. To
help you care for your favourite pieces, The Kooples has created this guide with tips on how to keep your
clothes looking as good as new.
Our different materials have been selected by our style team for their quality and their ability to last from
season to season. Find out all our tips for preserving your leather, bag or dress over time.
To preserve the quality of your clothes, we advise you to read the instructions on the label
carefully before washing.
LEATHER
Leather care
Leather is a living material that
tends to dry out and develop a
patina over time. It wrinkles in
places and smoothes out in
others, giving it a unique vintage look.
Tips for looking after your leather items
Twice a year, we recommend
applying a neutral nourishing
cream with a soft cloth to
embellish the leather and restore i
ts original shine. Then polish with
a dry cloth.
KNITWEAR
Knitwear care
Merino, cashmere, mohair or
alpaca... Our woollens love water!
We recommend that you wash
them regularly by hand and cold.
Tips for caring for your knitwear
To preserve their appearance, use
a special wool detergent and
avoid adding fabric softener, which
can deform the fibres. Rinse gently,
without ever wringing your wool,
and dry flat on a clean cloth.
SILK
Caring for silk and viscose
Satin, muslin, crepe de Chine...
Silk and viscose should be
washed inside out, by hand and
cold. Leave to soak for no more
than 5 minutes to prevent the
fibres from stretching.
Tips for caring for silk and viscose
Dry on a hanger. When ironing,
iron silk inside out, preferably
while the garment is still damp,
and at a low temperature to avoid
damaging the delicate fibres.
LEATHERGOODS
Caring for your bags
Once a year, apply a nourishing
cream to your bag to embellish the
leather and restore its original
shine.
Tips for caring for your bags
Crocodile, python and snake-effect
leathers have not been water-
repellent treated. It is therefore
advisable to waterproof them while
protecting the metalwork
to prevent it galvanising.
LEATHERGOODS
DENIM
Denim care
To preserve the fabric quality of
your denim pieces, we
recommend washing them at 30°
in the washing machine.
Tips for caring for your denim
For best results, use a liquid
detergent rather than a powder.
Above all, wash denim inside out
and don't overload your machine
to avoid white marks.
COTTON
Cotton care
Piqué, poplin, yarn to yarn, jersey,
Oxford or Chambray, cotton is soft,
absorbent, insulating and above
all, it can be machine washed
at 30°C.
Tips for looking after your
cotton garments
Make sure you pay particular
attention to contrasting colours,
given the potential risk of dye
transfer, which could alter the
appearance of your garments.
SYNTHETIC
Care for synthetics
Polyester can be machine-washed
+at 30°C, preferably inside out and
in a washing net. For any special
features (burnt velvet, metallic or
lace inserts), follow the
instructions on the label.
Tips for caring for your
synthetic garments
Iron at a low temperature, taking
care to cover the garment with a
cloth to prevent the iron from
coming into direct contact with the
fabric.
SHOES
Caring for your shoes
Like our ready-to-wear items,
leather boots and shoes develop a
natural patina over time, adding a
touch of authenticity to
their appearance.
Tips for caring for your shoes
For suede shoes, we recommend
regular care with a suitable brush after
waterproofing.
To prevent the soles from wearing out,
resole them quickly.
WOMEN MEN
COATS & SUITS
Coat and suit care
Dry cleaning is best for all suit jackets
and trousers, as well as for faux furs,
coats and parkas.
Tips for caring for your coats and suits
Dry cleaning is not recommended for pieces
with glued studs, as solvents can
melt the glue. In this case, follow the
instructions on the label inside the garment.
