How To Care For Your Wardrobe
Taking care of your clothes is essential for extending their lifespan, maintaining their appearance, and reducing your overall environmental footprint. We have noted down our advice and top tips on how to properly care for your garments that will help you get the most out of your wardrobe.
1. Care for your clothes
To keep your clothes looking great and lasting longer, promptly fix minor issues like sewing buttons or mending hems to prevent further damage. Protect your knitwear and delicate fabrics from moths by using moth repellent hangers, and if you suspect moths, freeze the affected items for 24-48 hours to eliminate them safely.
2. Alterations
If you have pieces you love but don't wear because they don't fit quite right, find a good local tailor. A skilled tailor can adjust the fit, making your clothes more comfortable and flattering, ensuring you get the most out of your wardrobe.
3. Wardrobe Detox
Take everything out of your wardrobe—ideally with the change of seasons—to rediscover hidden gems and organise effectively. Sort items into keep, charity, storage, and sell piles. For storage, use moth-proof bags or, for larger collections and special pieces, consider bespoke services like Vault Couture, they offer on-demand temperature controlled storage solutions, with a digital inventory for garments or accessories special to you. Additionally try their add-on services, such as Wardrobe Organisation taking care of the whole detox process for you.
5. Jewelry Valuations
Keep your jewelry properly insured by staying up to date with valuations. Set diary alerts for insurance renewals and find a reliable jeweler for regular valuations. This ensures your pieces are accurately valued and adequately protected
