How to keep your heirloom lingerie gorgeous for years to come
Christine Lingerie Care Guide
Indulge in the effortless luxury of pure silk. Our silks are naturally moisture-wicking and gentle on the skin, which means they stay beautifully fresh longer than most. Whenever possible, save a wash and spot-clean instead, then lay flat or drape to air dry, letting the silk breathe and regain its soft glow.
When a full wash is needed, choose a specialist silk detergent and always go gentle: hand wash with cool water (never above 30°C), or use your machine’s delicate cycle with care.
Avoid stain removers or harsh chemicals that can dull its luster. To restore its natural sheen, lightly steam or iron on the reverse side at the lowest heat, ideally with a cloth barrier for protection.
The delicate artistry of silk paired with Italian lace deserves extra reverence. Hand wash only, using cool water and silk-safe detergent. Do not soak or wring. Gently press out excess water with a clean towel, then lay flat to reshape and dry naturally. Heat is lace’s enemy, so skip the tumble dryer and avoid direct irons. Should you wish to refresh the fabric, use steam carefully from the reverse side, keeping lace details safe from direct contact.
Our velvet treasures; with their rich texture, embroidery, and embellishment, are intimate artworks. Dry clean only is the safe choice. Never tumble dry, and never iron directly on the surface, as heat will flatten velvet’s lush pile. If a refresh is required, use a handheld steamer from a respectful distance so fibers lift without wetting. Treat velvet with feather-light care, preserving its sumptuous depth and refined artistry.
For those who want to elevate their lingerie care into a ritual of self-indulgence:
Storage advice
Keep silk and lace lingerie away from direct sunlight, as natural fibers can fade. Store flat or hang on padded hangers to prevent stretching.
Travel tips
Slip delicate pieces into breathable garment bags or tissue-lined pouches to protect them en route.
Fragrance layering
Store lingerie with a hint of natural lavender or cedar sachets, keeping garments fresh without synthetic sprays.
Heritage mindset
Treat every Christine creation as wearable art. The care you give now ensures these pieces remain not just lingerie, but heirlooms to be passed down or cherished for decades.
Lingerie that lasts a lifetime and can be passed down is earth-loving
