Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this skirt utilizes high-quality wool and leather components, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan.
- Cleaning: This garment must be taken to a professional dry cleaner. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as this may ruin the wool fibers and the leather strap attachments.
- Storage: Hang the skirt on a proper skirt hanger with clips that do not leave deep indentations in the wool. Avoid over-crowding the garment in your closet to prevent unnecessary friction against the frayed hem.
- Maintenance: If the skirt becomes wrinkled, use a handheld garment steamer at a safe distance. Never iron the leather straps directly as the heat can cause the leather to crack or discolor.
