THE SECRET TO LASTING CLOTHING DEPENDS ON THE MATERIALS USED, ITS QUALITY OF MANUFACTURE, AND THE MAINTENANCE PROVIDED TO IT. MAISON CQFD GIVES YOU ALL THE KEYS, ADVICE AND TRICKS TO KEEP YOUR SATIN SKIRT FOR YEARS AND PASS IT ON AS AN HERITAGE, THANKS TO THIS DETAILED CARE GUIDE.
THE MATERIAL
The CQFD satin pencil skirt is made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified acetate and viscose satin. Woven and dyed in Italy, this material made from natural fibers was selected by Maison CQFD for its properties similar to silk: silky touch, slight shine and fluidity. The chosen satin is dense and thick, with a weight of 200 g/m2, to guarantee perfect opacity.
WASHING
The satin skirt, with its draping at the back, is a delicate garment.
Machine washing is therefore not recommended.
In the event of a small stain, choose precise cleaning of the area concerned by gently tapping with water using a pattemouille of the same color. If necessary, add a little detergent and then rinse at the stain, avoiding the drape area as much as possible.
To take the greatest care of it, moderate dry cleaning with restrictions by a professional remains the most suitable solution.
DRYING
Do not tumble dry.
If you choose to wash by hand for a small stain, be careful not to twist the garment, as this could damage the acetate and viscose fibers. Prefer to use a fabric of the same color, tapping it to absorb excess water. Dry the skirt on a hanger, taking care not to crush the drape with the hanger clips.
As with any clothing made from natural fiber, avoid drying your CQFD skirt near a direct heat source (radiator, towel dryer, etc.).
IRONING
For an impeccable result, choose gentle ironing (“silk” or low temperature program) on the reverse side to maintain the shine of the satin, avoiding draping so that it retains its shape. Iron your skirt while it is still damp to avoid wrinkles.
The use of a steam generator is authorized to remove wrinkles from your clothing.
TIDYING UP
To minimize wrinkles on the satin skirt, store it on a hanger without pinching the drape so as not to distort it.
Always store your clothes away from sunlight and moonlight.
- 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 guarantee its quality to its new owner as well as its recyclability.
- Prioritize maintenance and repair: in the event of a small tear or the creation of a hole in your satin skirt, 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
