• To ensure that your beautiful piece looking fresh and vibrant for many seasons to come we recommend following these simple care instructions:
  
  Gentle Cold Wash - immerse your Anjelms piece in cold water and gently hand wash it. If a washing machine is used, wash with similar colours and cold gentle cycle are recommended.
  
  Air Dry in the Shade - after washing, avoid wringing it out to preserve the delicate appliques and fabric quality then lay flat or hang it to air dry in a shaded area to prevent fading and protect the fabric from the harsh effects of direct sunlight. 
  
  Avoid Harsh Detergents - to preserve the integrity of the colors and material, opt for mild, gentle pH-neutral detergents that are suitable for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach and ironing on a low setting only if necessary.
