HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PIECES

Your ZITO pieces are crafted with upcycled fabrics and intentional craftsmanship. Proper care ensures they last and evolve beautifully over time.

General Care Tips:

  • Less washing = longer life. Spot clean when possible.
  • Avoid excessive heat, harsh detergents, and rough handling to maintain fabric integrity.
  • When in doubt, dry clean to preserve structure + texture.

Fabric-Specific Care:

Wool & Wool Blends (Including Wool + Cotton or Wool + Vegan Leather)

🖤 Best Care: Dry clean recommended.
🖤 At-Home Care: Spot clean with cold water + mild detergent.
🖤 Wrinkle Release: Steam gently or hang in a steamy bathroom.
🖤 Storage: Hang structured pieces (blazers, coats) on padded hangers.

Cotton & Cotton Blends (Including 95% Cotton / 5% Polyurethane Sateen)

🖤 Wash: Machine wash cold on gentle or hand wash.
🖤 Dry: Air dry flat; avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinkage.
🖤 Ironing: Use low heat inside-out with a press cloth.

Vegan Leather & Mixed-Fabric Pieces with Vegan Leather (100% Polyurethane)

🖤 Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth + mild soap. Avoid soaking.
🖤 No Heat: Do not machine wash, iron, or tumble dry—heat damages the material.
🖤 Storage: Store on a hanger to prevent creasing; avoid direct sunlight.

Sustainability Tip:

Frequent washing breaks down fibers faster. Spot clean, steam, and air out your pieces to extend their life + reduce environmental impact.
