Wash & Care

To keep your treasured upcycled garment looking its best, please note that it requires extra care. Please take this into consideration before making a purchase.

We have conducted extensive washing tests on our Åkle garments. Your garment can be hand-washed, machine-washed using a delicate hand wash program or dry-cleaned.

Hand Wash:

To maintain the optimal appearance of your cherished upcycled garment, we suggest hand washing it in cold water using a mild wool wash. It's important to avoid leaving the garment submerged in water for too long to prevent color bleeding. Wring it out and hang it to dry.

Machine Wash:

You can also use your machine if it has a delicate hand wash program with cold water up to 30 degrees.

Low Spin Speed:

After hand/machine washing you may select a delicate cycle with a low spin speed (400) on your washing machine.

Hang Dry:

After washing, let your garment air dry, laying/hanging on top of your drying rack. This will ensure that it dries naturally and maintains its original form. If you prefer a more hands-off approach to washing, you can take your garment to the local dry cleaner. But, we recommend minimizing the washing of your garment for both its longevity and the environment's sake.

Store with Love:

When not in use, store your garment with love in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Fresh Air:

Additionally, letting your garment hang outdoors in fresh air once in a while can breathe new life into it.
