Care tips

Every action taken has an impact on the environment. At Maison ABF, we strive to be the antithesis of mindless consumption, and we encourage you to consider each action and its impact. We believe in investing in high quality, durable products. When the item doesn't fit anymore, you can sell or donate it - your item will last for years to come, and will make more people happy after you part with it.

Treat your items with respect, as you would anything else in life. Objects have a purpose and deserve to be treated with care. Everything lasts longer when you take good care of it!

Please make sure to follow the care tips on the item itself. Generally speaking, avoid over-washing clothes - try to spot clean and air out instead, if possible.

Washing and drying

Always check the care label for instructions to care for your garments and avoid shrinking or damage. Do not wash more than necessary, as every wash wears on the item and can fade its color. Instead of washing, hang your garment to air ventilate, use essential oils to freshen it up, and spot clean stains. Airing your items regularly keeps them fresher.

We advise using a gentle and environmentally friendly detergent without bleach, and to skip fabric softeners (which can be harmful to aquatic life).

Try to limit tumble drying (and never tumble dry items where prohibited by the care label sewn on it!). Hang or lay flat to dry depending on the garment instead of tumble drying it.

Jewelry

Take the best care of your jewelry to ensure it lasts longer. Keep your jewelry away from moist and heat, and store in a dry space. Store your jewelry in our velvet pouch when not in use.

All our jewelry is gold plated (3 microns) and water resistant. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged contact with water. Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfume, oils, household products, etc., and do not wear your accessory when performing activities like swimming, cleaning or sports, as this may damage your jewelry and its stones.

Jewelry with stones should be cared for especially, as stones could suffer damage from improper care.

Hair accessories

To ensure your hair accessories are long lasting, keep them away from water, moist and heat, and store in a dry space. Store your accessory in our velvet pouch when not in use.

Avoid contact with water, cosmetics, perfume, oils, household products, etc., and do not wear your accessory when performing activities like swimming, cleaning or sports, as this may damage your accessory and cause strass to detach.

If you get your accessory dirty, spot clean with a gentle cloth, dry or with some water, and dry well after.
