Cleaning: essential for the durability of your outfit

Cleaning formal wear requires special attention. To ensure that your outfit is impeccable and ready to be preserved or transformed, it's best to call in the experts rather than attempt home cleaning, which could damage sensitive materials.

Keep your outfit for years to come

If your aim is to keep your outfit intact and perhaps even pass it on, a few precautions are in order. Choose a breathable cotton cover and store it in a dry, dark place. Don't forget to inspect fragile materials like silk regularly to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Transforming to reinvent: a second life for your outfit
