Corduroy is valued for its durability, soft handle, and versatility across clothing and homeware. Believed to have evolved from Ancient Egyptian fustian, a weighty cloth with a raised nap, its distinctive ridges, or “wales,” were later developed to strengthen the fabric.

• Wash corduroy inside out, with fastenings closed, at 30°C or on a cool setting.
• Avoid overloading the machine to prevent surface damage.
• Shake out gently after washing, smooth seams.
• Hang to air dry to prevent creasing.
• Store on a hanger.
  

Cotton is a comfortable, breathable, and easy-care fibre that holds dye well, making it an ideal canvas for vibrant colours and prints. Sourced from the cotton plant's seed pods, its natural and biodegradable properties make it gentler on the environment than other materials. Cotton can be transformed into a range of durable fabrics, including denim, poplin, and twill.

• Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
• Wash only when necessary to preserve shape, colour, and quality.
• Reshape while damp by holding the seams and gently shaking the fabric out.
• Dry flat or hang to reduce creasing.
• If needed, iron while damp or use steam.
• Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
