Care Information
Every product is reworked and upcycled using second hand and unloved fabrics, wools and beads. The material information is not always available but where it is, the washing and care will be stated on the listing.
​
Ellen reworks every product to stop waste and upcycle existing materials into something that can be cherished in your wardrobe, so here are some helpful tips to prolong the life of your garment!

Washing
Wash your garment on a low heat and spin cycle to avoid unwanted wear and tear.
If in doubt, hand wash, especially to clean specific stains.
Air dry the garment flat and to avoid additional stress on the garment do not tumble dry.

Wool
Take care with any items made of natural materials as wool will felt with high heat and friction like in a washing machine or tumble dryer.
Wash wool items by hand and dry them flat. Acrylic or synthetic yarns will withstand more heat and friction but will still melt in high heats. If unsure, hand wash and air dry.

Mending
If your garment does get a hole or some other kind of wear and tear there are plenty of mending methods, like adding a patch or trying out a style of visible mending such as Japanese sashiko style.
