Garment Care

All fabric has been pre washed before creation to allow for natural pre-shrinkage. To help our garments last longer you must take care in how they are looked after during their wear. On this page we will go though washing instructions for the different types of garments, as some require special washing. Please wash light and bright colours separately, as colours can still sometimes run while they are in the machine. We also recommend hand washing because this prolongs the life of garments without subjecting them to such aggressive wash cycles. 

Please always if unsure refer to the care label within your garment; it has all the information on this page. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email: madebymakins@gmail.com.
