Pampering your linen with care

Once Milano products are entirely created in Italy. The company’s aim has always been to create the most beautiful, enjoyable, and easy-to-care-for products.

See below how to care for your linen.

  • COLOR

    Garments are sewn before applying any color, thus creating the exceptional depth of nuance and texture.

    While our expert local dyers follow the same technique each time, there can be slight variations between batches. These slight variations and nuances found in garment dyed pieces mimic what the eye sees in nature and is part of what we love about garment dyeing technique.

  • WASHING / DRYING

    We recommend washing at 30°C , using gentle detergents and no bleach.

    Make sure not to mix colors to ensure uniform appearance.

    While linen is stronger than many fabrics, it will nonetheless be damaged by extreme heat while washing or drying.

    For soft/fluffy results: tumble dry and steam iron.

    To reduce creasing, do not overload the dryer and remove the linen as soon as it is completely dry.

    For a fine linen effect: air dry or tumble dry and iron while still a little damp.

  • SIZES / SHRINKAGE

    There can be slight variation in sizes between items due to the dynamic nature of the fabric and the process of hand finishing.

    Linen is a flexible fibre and unlike stone, it can change size depending on how it is treated.

    Once Milano linen is pre-washed before you receive it so there should be little change in size but washing, drying and ironing at high temperatures may cause some variation.

  • NOTES
