Wax. A living fabric.

The Fabric

Cotton treated with a waxed finish: that gives the fabric its dry, deep hand and a lived-in look from day one. The wax stays alive in the weave, so the fabric responds to what brushes against it and to what warms it. A special garment deserves a special care.

It reacts
The wax moves when rubbed or folded.

It remembers
Gentle, indirect heat settles it again.

How Wax Behaves

A surface that moves and settles again.

At rest — the wax is evenly distributed.

In movement — rubbing shifts the wax.

With indirect heat, the surface evens out

The Care

A few simple gestures to live your Wax piece the way it is meant to be lived.

01 · Wear it
It is made to be lived in. In the first wears the wax settles: the fabric becomes softer and more personal.

02 · Hang it
On a wide hanger, in a dry, airy place. Avoid folding or pressing it for long periods.

03 · Even it out
If you notice a trace, use gentle, indirect warmth: keep the heat source at a distance and never in contact with the fabric. Avoid direct flame. Slow gestures, no rush.

04 · Follow the label
Do not wash, bleach, tumble dry or iron. Dry cleaning only where the label allows it, at a specialist.

Questions

Are the marks on the fabric a defect?

No. They are a characteristic of wax-treated fabrics: the wax shifts when the fabric is rubbed or folded. It is also why every garment develops a character of its own.

How do I even out the wax?

Use gentle, indirect warmth: keep the heat source at a distance and never touching the fabric, and avoid direct flame. The wax then settles again and the surface evens out.

Can I wash it?

Always follow the care label of your piece. In general, do not wash, bleach, tumble dry or iron. Bags must not be dry cleaned; garments such as jackets and vests may be taken to a specialist dry cleaner only.

Can it leave marks on other fabrics?

Yes: rubbing against light-coloured surfaces can transfer colour. Avoid prolonged contact with light or delicate fabrics.

What should I avoid?

Heat in contact with the fabric, direct flame and strong heat sources such as radiators and stoves, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, repeated rubbing against rough surfaces, zips and buckles, and prolonged contact with very light or delicate fabrics.
