The Elly Shirt Denim Patchwork Blue

Denim

• Denim ages better when it’s washed less; damage comes from overwashing, not overwearing. Plus, you can save over 2,000 litres of water per year by washing once a month as opposed to once a week.
• Close buttons and turn your sustainable denim shirt inside out before washing.
• Use a damp cloth to spot clean and remove small stains in between washes, helping to keep your luxury denim shirt looking fresh. 
• Freeze your denim instead of washing it to kill odour-producing germs.
• Steam your denim as another energy-efficient way to kill odour-producing bacteria instead of washing.
• Wash at 30°C maximum. Prefer to hand wash? Use cold to lukewarm water, a mild detergent and leave your denim to soak for 45 minutes. Then rinse. 
• Flatten, reshape and hang your shirt to air dry. We do not advise using a tumble dryer for our denim pieces. 
• Dry naturally in the shade or indoors, avoiding direct sunlight, as this can fade denim.
