Preserve Your Historical Garments: The Mimirs Saum Care Guide

In the heart of every Mimirs Saum garment lies a tapestry of history, woven with the threads of time and tradition. Our Garment Care Guide is your compass, guiding you through the art of preserving these precious relics, ensuring they remain as timeless as the stories they tell. 

Fabric-Specific Care

Each fabric whispers its own tale, requiring gentle hands and thoughtful care to keep its story alive:

Linen: Bathed in the gentle embrace of cool waters, linen retains its natural grace. Avoid the harsh twist of time; instead, let the air cradle its fibers, drying them flat or upon a padded hanger. Press with warmth while still kissed by the morning dew.

Wool: A guardian of warmth, wool prefers the tender touch of spot cleaning. When the need arises, let cool waters and woolen whispers cleanse its fibers. Gently press out the burdens of water, and lay it flat, away from the sun's eager gaze.

Silk: Delicate as a moonlit night, silk dances in cool waters, guided by a gentle detergent's caress. Roll it in a towel's embrace, letting it dry in the soft shade, and press with care, a cloth between the iron's heat and its shimmering surface.

Plant-Dyed Fabrics: These vibrant hues, born of nature's palette, seek solitude in their wash. Cool waters and pH-neutral whispers preserve their colors, while the sun's embrace is but a fleeting dance.

Traditional Cleaning Methods

Embrace the wisdom of ages past, where nature's touch was the only guide:

• Airing: Let the breeze carry away the whispers of wear, as your garments dance in the open air, refreshed by nature's breath.

• Spot Cleaning: With gentle soap and water, erase the marks of time, leaving the fabric's tale untold.

• Brushing: For wool, a soft brush revives the nap, sweeping away the dust of days gone by.

• Herbal Sachets: Tuck lavender and rosemary among your treasures, their scent a gentle guardian against time's relentless march.

Storage and Preservation

In the quiet embrace of storage, your garments find solace:

• Ensure they are clean and dry, free from the shadows of mold and mildew.
• Wrap them in the gentle folds of cotton or linen, avoiding the suffocating grasp of plastic.
• Fold along the lines of their making, with tissue paper as a gentle buffer.
• Hang heavier pieces on padded hangers, allowing space for whispers of air.
• Store in a cool, dry sanctuary, away from the sun's eager gaze.

Sustainable Practices for Longevity

Embrace the earth's bounty, extending the life of your garments with nature's grace:

• Use lemon juice and vinegar to erase stains, the earth's own remedies.
• Mend with care, honoring the resourcefulness of times past.
• Repurpose worn fabrics, breathing new life into their stories.
• Choose cold water and line drying, saving energy and preserving the fabric's tale.
