Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased or loses shape.
Ensure the garment is stored by hanging or folded carefully. If creased, use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth or professional steaming. Follow recommended care instructions to avoid excessive wear on the fabric.
Colour bleeding during cleaning.
This is unlikely with proper care, but if suspected, always perform a spot test in an inconspicuous area first. Use cold water and a mild detergent for hand washing, and dry separately. Professional cleaning is the safest method to prevent colour transfer.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. You can try applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth, then work it back and forth.
