Taking care of your clothes is a way of respecting the materials, the hands that made them and the time behind each piece. Most of our garments are made from upcycled and deadstock fabrics, many of them already with a life behind them. With a little care, they can go on for many more years.
Everyday care
- Wash less. Air garments between wears. A gentle steam or a brush often does more than a full wash.
- Treat stains early, before they set, so the whole garment doesn't need washing.
- When you do wash, separate by colour and fabric, skip fabric softener and air-dry wherever possible.
- Store with care. Hang tailoring and outerwear on shaped hangers, fold knits, and keep pieces clean and dry between seasons, with cedar or lavender against moths.
The materials we use most
Wool rarely needs washing. Refresh it with air, steam or a garment brush, and always dry it flat.
Silk prefers airing and steaming to washing. When it does need cleaning, follow the care label or use a professional cleaner.
Cashmere is washed by hand in cool water, rolled in a towel and dried flat. Store it folded, not hung.
Leather should be aired away from sunlight and heat, and conditioned regularly so it stays supple. Our upcycled leather keeps the marks of its earlier life; they are part of the piece.
For cotton, linen, viscose, stains and storage, see our full care guide.
Complimentary repairs
We repair every garment bought directly from Taus, free of charge. If a seam opens, a button comes loose or a piece needs some attention after years of wear, write to us with your order number, a short description and a photo, and we will arrange the rest. Shipping to and from the studio is paid by the customer.
Hemming
We offer hemming for most of our trousers, so they fall at the right length for you. Tell us your preferred length when you order, or contact us and we will help you measure.
