Designed as a piece of art, and crafted with artisan love, our hope is for your CAMILLA piece to be part of your world long enough for you to hand down to future generations. Silk clothing can be particularly tricky, but here we show you how to properly take care of your clothes, the CAMILLA way.
Clothing care is an important chapter in our quest to lead a more sustainable lifetime. Protecting each garment will extend its precious lifecycle, and ensure it will be loved for years to come.
Due to the delicate nature of our garments, we recommend a spot dry clean only, which is stated on our care labels. Spot dry clean means that the garment is only dry cleaned where the spots or stains have occurred, so as not to risk the dyes in the fabrics bleeding, or embellishments from falling off. If you must dry clean the entire garment, please look for an establishment that uses Green Earth Solutions product, which work best for delicate fabrics, as well as being a more sustainable solution to heavy chemicals.
CAMILLA is renowned for embellishments, which are applied individually by hand. This ensures that each garment is unique, and no two the same. Some crystals can come off with wear. When purchasing your CAMILLA, we supply matching crystals and embellishments. These can be applied to your piece with a fabric or craft glue.
To freshen CAMILLA pieces in-between wears, hang up in your bathroom while having a hot shower. The steam will remove creases from the garment, as well refreshing the fabric. We do not recommend machine or hand washing your CAMILLA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alterations
If you’d like to alter your CAMILLA we recommend taking it to a trusted tailor who has experience working with delicate silk. We love to keep the fabric cut from the garment to use as a belt or scarf.
Pilling
Pilling is a natural occurrence of the woollen fibres. Avoid excessive use of fabric softeners, and turn knits inside out when washing. If pilling does occur, remove by hand, with a comb or a depillar.
Static
To prevent static, either lightly steam or spritz your garment with water from a misting bottle.
Storing
Silk pieces should be hung on padded hangers, or stored in garment bags to preserve the delicate fabrication. Knits should be folded rather than hung to avoid stretching out of shape.
