DEALING WITH DESIGNERS

Your designer garments deserve more than a generic cleaner—they demand expert attention and tailored care. Not every dry cleaner understands couture, hand-stitched hems, or delicate embellishments; choosing the right cleaner for high-end clothing is key. Look for services that understand fabrics, garment construction, and techniques like wet cleaning, hand finishing, and gentle treatment.

A true luxury cleaner asks intelligent questions: Do they know how to press a hand-rolled hem? Can they accommodate wet cleaning for silk, chiffon, or layered gowns? Do they employ specialty equipment and processes that protect stretch, beads, lace and couture details? Expertise and tools matter.

When bringing in your designer pieces, provide any extras—fabric swatches, spare buttons, threads, or beadwork—and mention stains or issues right away. Even unnoticeable sweat, body oils, or airborne contaminants begin degrading fibers over time. Cleaning sooner rather than later helps protect the integrity of your garments. Be cautious about DIY stain removals—they may worsen color loss, fiber damage or fix the stain permanently.

In short: treating your designer wardrobe as investment pieces deserves investment in care. With thoughtful cleaning, tailored knowledge, and attention to detail, your couture clothing stays pristine, respected, and ready for many wears to come.
