Care Guide

Your ELVAPACA garment is crafted from the finest baby alpaca fibre. With the right care, it will remain soft, beautiful, and long-lasting for years to come.

Washing

  • Hand wash in cold water using a gentle, wool-safe detergent
  • Do not rub or wring — gently squeeze the water through the fabric
  • Rinse thoroughly in cold water
  • Alternatively, dry clean for best results

Drying

  • Lay flat on a clean towel to dry, reshaping gently
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources
  • Never hang to dry — this can stretch the garment

Storage

  • Fold and store flat in a cool, dry place
  • Avoid hanging for long periods
  • Store with cedar balls or lavender sachets to naturally deter moths
  • For seasonal storage, place in a breathable cotton bag

Pilling

Some light pilling may occur with wear — this is natural for fine fibres. Use a fabric comb or cashmere comb to gently remove any pills.

General Tips

  • Air your garment between wears rather than washing after every use
  • Treat stains immediately by gently dabbing with cold water
  • Avoid contact with rough surfaces that may cause friction

With love and care, your ELVAPACA piece will only get better with time.
