Fabrics & Textiles (Alpaca Wool, Cotton & Natural Fibres)

Natural textiles are chosen for their softness, texture and timeless character. Alpaca wool, cotton and other natural fibres will soften and develop a lived-in elegance over time. Gentle care will preserve their beauty while allowing them to age naturally.

Daily Care

• Lightly shake out cushions and throws regularly to maintain their shape.

• Vacuum upholstered pieces weekly using a soft brush attachment on low suction.

• Rotate and fluff cushions periodically to encourage even wear.

• Air natural fibre textiles occasionally in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

• Brush alpaca wool gently with a soft clothing brush to maintain its texture.

What to Avoid

To preserve your textiles, avoid:

• Direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which may cause fading.

• Harsh chemical cleaners or bleach.

• Excessive rubbing or aggressive scrubbing.

• High heat from radiators, fireplaces or heating vents.

• Leaving spills unattended.

Natural fibres may show subtle variations in weave, texture and colour. These are inherent characteristics of the material and should not be considered imperfections.

Protecting the Surface

We recommend:

• Using throws or decorative cushions in high-use areas.

• Rotating cushions regularly to promote even wear.

• Keeping fabrics away from sharp objects or rough surfaces that may snag the fibres.

• Maintaining a stable indoor humidity to help natural fibres perform at their best.

• Following the care instructions provided for removable covers.

Stains

Should spills occur:

• Blot immediately using a clean, dry white cloth.

• Never rub the spill, as this may damage the fibres or spread the stain.

• For water-based spills, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild pH-neutral soap.

• Allow the fabric to air dry naturally.

• For oil-based or stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.

Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before treating the entire surface.
