THE SECRET OF A CLOTHING THAT LASTS OF COURSE DEPENDS ON THE MATERIALS, ITS QUALITY OF MANUFACTURE, BUT ALSO ON THE MAINTENANCE PROVIDED TO IT. MAISON CQFD GIVES YOU ALL THE KEYS, ADVICE AND TRICKS TO KEEP YOUR COTTON SHIRT FOR A LIFETIME AND PASS IT ON AS AN HERITAGE, THANKS TO THIS DETAILED CARE GUIDE.
THE MATERIAL
The CQFD white shirt is made from 100% organic cotton twill using GOTS certified cotton yarns. This magnificent cotton comes from the Italian manufacturer Albini, founded in 1876 and recognized by the greatest luxury houses for the unrivaled quality of its fabrics. Thanks to the exceptional characteristics of its fiber and a twill weave, the selected cotton guarantees resistance, softness and comfort to the shirt. This fabric from Maison Albini will crease much less than poplin and iron more easily, for a bright and structured shirt all day long.
WASHING
The cotton shirt is an easy-to-maintain item.
To take the best care of it, wash your shirt in the machine at 30° on a delicate cycle, only with other white clothes and with all buttons closed. It is best to use a washing net to protect the fabric from friction.
Dry cleaning with restrictions is possible.
Do not bleach.
DRYING
Do not tumble dry.
Prefer a moderate spin in the machine then straighten the shirt after the cycle before drying it on a hanger, with the buttons closed, to prevent creases.
Avoid drying your white shirt in direct sunlight, which tends to yellow white clothing.
IRONING
For an impeccable result, prefer ironing on the reverse side so as not to damage the cotton. To make ironing easier and restore body to the fiber, iron your shirt when it is still slightly damp. You can also use a steam generator.
TIDYING UP
To minimize creases on the shirt, store it on a hanger, front and sleeve buttons closed, collar replaced. To transport it, do not hesitate to store it in a protective cover.
Always store your clothes away from sunlight and moonlight.
- CQFD sourced the organic cotton for the shirt in one of the most beautiful Italian factories, already acclaimed by emblematic luxury brands: the Albini house. The selected cotton is bright and slightly shiny, without being transparent. To revive its shine, add white vinegar to your machine. Do not chemically bleach.
- Do not cut the labels to always remember the composition of your garment and the right actions to adopt to take care of it. If you decide to part with it, this will also guarantee its quality to its new owner.
- Prioritize maintenance and repair: in the event of a small tear or the creation of a hole in your shirt, go directly to a retoucher. If you need a button or component to repair your CQFD garment, send your request to the following address: contact@cqfd.com
