Special Notes

• Cupro-based lining — dry clean with garment

• Hand wash if cleaning separately

Additional Care Tips

• Dry clean recommended — follow the outer garment's care label
• If hand washing: use cold water with delicate detergent, do not wring
• Hang dry away from direct sunlight — cupro can weaken with UV exposure
• Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth — direct heat can scorch
• Store garments on padded hangers to preserve the lining's drape
