Care instruction

Each U5LOVE piece is delicately and carefully handmade by skilled artisans in Senegal. To enjoy your garment for years to come, please follow the care instructions below.

Washing Instructions
◾️ Hand washing is recommended whenever possible. Use water or lukewarm water (below 30°C) with a mild detergent designed for delicate clothing, and gently wash the garment.
◾️ If using a washing machine, please place the item in a laundry net and select a gentle cycle, such as hand-wash or delicate mode.
◾️ Avoid using bleach or detergents with optical brighteners, as these may cause fading or damage to the fabric.
◾️ Do not soak the garment for extended periods, as this may lead to color transfer.

Drying Instructions
◾️ After washing, gently reshape the garment and dry it in the shade to maintain its silhouette.
◾️ Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as it may cause the colors to fade.
◾️ Please refrain from using a tumble dryer, as it may cause shrinkage or place stress on the fabric.

Ironing & Storage
◾️ If wrinkles are a concern, we recommend ironing on a medium setting with a pressing cloth.
◾️ Please be careful not to iron directly on delicate details, such as lace or embroidery.
◾️ Store your garment in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place to prolong its life. If using moth repellents, ensure they do not come into direct contact with the fabric.

Usage Tips
◾️ Be mindful of snagging from accessories or bag hardware, which can damage the fabric.
◾️ Darker or printed items may transfer color when wet due to sweat or rain. When pairing with light-colored clothing or bags, a little extra care is recommended.
