Fabric Specific Guidelines
Handwoven & Adire Textiles
Hand wash gently in cold water using a mild, dye-free neutral pH liquid detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the heritage fibers. Instead, lay flat to dry in a shaded area out of direct harsh sunlight to preserve the rich natural indigo and botanical dyes. Iron carefully on reverse side using low-to-medium heat.
Silk & Delicate Fabrics
Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the premium luster of raw African silk. Never spot clean with water as it can leave permanent rings. Store exclusively on luxury padded satin hangers to avoid creasing, and keep inside a breathable cotton garment cover away from damp environments.
Tailored Pieces
Opt for specialized professional pressing rather than standard washing. Always hang on heavy, highly structured wooden hangers to preserve the structured shoulders. Allow tailored coats and trousers to breathe for several hours after wearing before returning them to the dark wardrobe. Avoid exposure to intense light.
Leather & Accessories
Gently wipe clean with a soft dry cloth. Condition premium leather trim seasonally with a high-grade neutral moisturizer. Always store inside the custom House of Izzi dust bags provided to safeguard against structural dust, scratching, and humidity.
