Care Instructions

Our Superwash bases can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, however, for best results, we recommend that you hand wash all of our bases and colorways in cool water and lay flat to dry. It is normal for a bit of color to appear in your wash water on the first wash. To avoid any staining of other garments, wash alone or with like colors.
