Designer Garment Care

Fine fabrics deserve careful hands

Designer pieces, silk blouses and cashmere knitwear are an investment, and one wrong wash can undo years of wear. We inspect each garment on arrival, check the label, fabrics and trims, and clean it the way the manufacturer intends. If something is delicate or valuable, we tell you plainly what we can do, and what the risks are, before any work begins.

Expert tips

Caring for fine clothes

A few habits protect valuable garments.

Keep the labels

Care labels tell us the manufacturer’s method, so do not cut them out.

Clean only when needed

Over-cleaning wears fabrics, so brush and air between cleans.

Show us marks early

Fresh marks are easier to treat than old ones.

Store properly

Use padded hangers, breathable bags and fold knitwear.

“Elegance managed to get a horrible huge espresso martini stain out of a brand new silk dress. The likelihood of removing it was very low but they managed! Absolute saviours – an amazing service!!”

“My beautiful designers guild curtains which were sheer voile were cleaned and invisibly mended after years of wear and tear. My interlined and lined really heavy cream curtains were also cleaned immaculately.”
