Care Instructions

Care Instructions — Keep Your Item Fresh

You’ve received your favorite item from Alva Atelier — and of course, you want to keep it looking great for as long as possible. Our garments are made to be worn often, but proper care makes a big difference.

By following the care instructions below, you help preserve the fabric, fit, and print quality of your clothing as much as possible.

Wash at a Maximum of 40°C

Your clothing can be washed at a maximum of 40 degrees, but we recommend washing at 30 degrees whenever possible. Lower temperatures are gentler on the fabric and help keep prints and details looking better for longer.

Important:

  • Always wash your clothing inside out
  • Use a mild detergent
  • Do not use fabric softener

Fabric softener can damage the fabric and cause prints to wear out more quickly.

Do Not Tumble Dry

Never put your clothing in the dryer.

High temperatures can cause:

  • Shrinkage
  • Loss of fit
  • Faster wear of prints and details

Instead, let your clothing air dry. This helps maintain better quality and keeps your item looking great for longer.

Do Not Iron on Prints or Logos

Does your clothing need ironing? No problem — just be careful.

Never iron directly over:

  • Prints
  • Logos
  • Text designs

Direct heat can permanently damage these details.
