Care instructions

Taking care of your LR3 pieces

LR3 garments are designed to be worn, moved in and lived with.

Our pieces are made from carefully selected fabrics, some of which are natural, delicate or hand-finished. Their texture, colour and appearance may evolve with wear, revealing the character of the materials over time.

As a general rule, we recommend that LR3 garments are cleaned, steamed and pressed by professionals. Professional care helps preserve the fabric, shape, volume and particular details of each piece.

A few simple gestures can help preserve your garment and allow it to accompany you for years to come.

GENERAL CARE

Always refer to the care instructions on the label of your garment before cleaning or caring for it.

We recommend professional care for LR3 pieces, not only for cleaning but also for steaming and pressing.

When pressing a garment, always place a protective cloth between the fabric and the iron. Never place the iron directly onto delicate fabrics, embroidery or special finishes.

Avoid cleaning a garment more often than necessary. Airing it after wearing is often enough to refresh it.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat or humidity.

When possible, allow your garment to rest between wears.

WOOL

Wool is a natural fibre with a distinctive texture and resilience. Slight variations in texture and appearance are part of its natural character.

We recommend professional cleaning, steaming and pressing for wool garments.

After wearing, allow the garment to air before storing it. Avoid hanging heavy wool pieces on thin hangers, which can affect their shape.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

CASHMERE & SILK

Cashmere and silk are delicate natural fibres that require gentle handling.

Avoid excessive friction with jewellery, bags or rough surfaces, which can affect the fabric over time.

Follow the care instructions on the label and use professional cleaning, steaming and pressing when indicated.

When pressing, always use a protective cloth between the fabric and the iron. Delicate fabrics should not be pressed directly.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat and humidity.

When storing cashmere or silk pieces, fold them rather than leaving them hanging for long periods.

COTTON & POPLIN

Cotton is a durable natural fibre, but its appearance can evolve with washing and wear.

Follow the care instructions on the label and avoid unnecessary washing.

We recommend professional care whenever indicated, particularly for structured cotton pieces.

Poplin garments may naturally crease with wear. This is part of the character of the fabric and can be refreshed with professional steaming or pressing.

Always use a protective cloth between the fabric and the iron when pressing.

DENIM

Denim is a durable fabric designed to evolve with wear.

Even when machine washing is technically possible, we do not recommend machine washing LR3 denim. Professional care will help preserve its colour, texture and shape over time.

Avoid unnecessary washing and follow the care instructions on the garment.

TECHNICAL & WATERPROOF COTTON

Some LR3 pieces are made from specially treated or waterproof cotton fabrics designed to create structure and volume.

These fabrics should be handled carefully to preserve their finish and shape.

We recommend professional cleaning and care for these garments.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry unless specifically indicated on the care label.

Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and do not iron directly onto the fabric.

DELICATE FABRICS & EMBROIDERY

Delicate fabrics, embroidery and decorative surfaces require particular attention.

Avoid contact with sharp objects, rough surfaces, jewellery or accessories that could catch or pull the fabric.

Do not pull loose threads. If a thread becomes detached, it is best to carefully cut the loose thread and have the area reinforced or repaired if necessary.

Do not press delicate fabrics directly with an iron. If pressing is required, we recommend professional care.

Slight variations, irregularities or differences in texture may occur in fabrics with natural fibres, embroidery or artisanal finishes. These are part of the character of the piece.

FRINGES & HAND-FINISHED DETAILS

Some LR3 pieces are finished with hand-made fringes or other crafted details.

Handle these elements gently and avoid pulling or catching them on jewellery, bags or other objects.

If fringes become uneven after wearing, gently separate them by hand rather than pulling or brushing them aggressively.

A wide-tooth comb can be used very gently to detangle the fringes.

Work gradually by section, starting with the lower part of the fringe and slowly moving towards the upper sections. Always work gently and avoid forcing or pulling the threads.

For pieces with extensive hand-finished details, we recommend professional cleaning and care.

PILLING

Pilling can naturally occur when fibres rub against one another, particularly on wool, cashmere and other soft fabrics.

It is not necessarily a sign of poor quality or a fabric defect.

If small pills appear, they can be carefully removed using a suitable fabric comb or lint remover.

Always work gently and avoid pulling the fibres by hand.

STORAGE

Give your garments enough space to keep their shape.

Use suitable, wide hangers for jackets, coats and structured pieces. Fold knitwear, cashmere and other fabrics that may stretch when hung.

Before storing a garment for a longer period, make sure it is clean and completely dry.

Keep garments away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity and heat.

Where appropriate, store delicate pieces in a breathable garment bag.

WHAT NOT TO DO

To help preserve your LR3 pieces, we recommend avoiding the following:

• Do not machine wash or hand wash any LR3 piece in hot water.

• Do not use abrasive or harsh detergents.

• Do not machine wash LR3 denim, even when machine washing is technically possible.

• Do not press delicate fabrics directly with an iron.

• Do not iron without a protective cloth between the fabric and the iron.

• Do not pull loose threads.

• Do not pull, brush or aggressively detangle fringes.

• Do not expose garments unnecessarily to excessive heat, humidity or direct sunlight.

WHEN IN DOUBT

If you are unsure how to care for a particular LR3 piece, please refer to the care label or contact us before washing, cleaning, steaming or pressing it.

Some LR3 garments incorporate delicate fabrics, specialised finishes or hand-finished details that require particular care.

When in doubt, we recommend professional care.
