How to care for your TWG garments

Care Guide

How to care for your TWG garments

Most of our dresses, tops, skirts and trousers are made from woven fabrics — cotton, viscose, linen, satin and rayon. They share the same simple routine to keep colour and shape season after season.

1

Cold hand wash, separately

Hand wash in cold water with a gentle, delicate detergent. Wash colours separately, especially for the first few washes.

2

Dry flat in the shade

Lay flat to dry out of direct sun. Natural and viscose fibres can stretch or fade if hung wet or dried in harsh light.

3

Cool iron or steam

Press with a cool iron under a cloth, or use cool steam to lift creases. Hanging in a steamy bathroom works in a pinch.

4

Dry clean when in doubt

Most TWG woven styles are dry-clean friendly — a good option for structured or lined pieces.

Do

  • Hand wash cold
  • Wash colours separately
  • Dry flat in the shade
  • Reshape gently while damp

Don't

  • Tumble dry
  • Bleach
  • Wring or twist the fabric
  • Spray perfume or alcohol directly onto it

Find your exact details

Every style is a little different. Your precise fibre composition and wash symbols are on the sewn-in care label and listed under Product Care on each product page.

Can I machine wash my TWG dress?

We recommend a cold hand wash to protect colour and shape. If you do machine wash, place it in a delicate bag and use the coolest, gentlest cycle.

Why dry flat instead of hanging?

Cotton and viscose fibres stretch when wet, so hanging can pull a garment out of shape. Drying flat keeps the original cut.

How do I get creases out without an iron?

Hang the piece in a steamy bathroom, or use cool steam. A cool iron under a cloth also works well.

Viscose — treat it like silk

Our viscose is a soft natural fabric and just as delicate as silk. Give it a light steam on arrival to lift any transit creases, keep it away from rough or sharp surfaces (it can pull), and dry clean only.

Linen — slubs and all

Linen’s natural slubs are part of its character, not flaws. Steam on arrival; 100% linen can be pressed under low heat. Dry clean for the best result, or hand wash cold (see below).

How do I hand wash linen?

Submerge the garment in cool water with a gentle detergent and soak for about 5 minutes. Rinse in cool water, then press the water out between your hands or a cloth — don’t wring or twist. Lay flat in the shade to dry.

Does washing against the care label affect returns?

Yes — pieces washed against the sewn-in care label aren’t covered by returns, so always follow the label.
