\"True luxury doesn't end when we wear a garment, it begins when we learn how to keep it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Luxury, understood at its roots, it does not end with the making of a garment<\/strong>. It starts there, but continues over time, in the way the garment is preserved, stored, treated. Because each piece of haute couture is a living organism: it breathes, evolves, ages. At Malne we believe that caring for a garment is caring for a story<\/strong>and to do so with the same dedication with which it was created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intimate knowledge of materials <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every luxury garment requires a deep understanding of its nature. Each fabric - silk, wool, organza, leather - has its own pulse and responds differently to the passage of time. The first gesture of care is respect for the material.<\/strong> 
On the label is the memory of its origin and the guidelines that will ensure its longevity. At Malne we work with noble fabrics selected for their durability and texture<\/strong>but also for their ability to transform with the wearer's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning a luxury dress <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Washing an exclusive garment is an act of trust. Cold water is always an ally of fine fibres.<\/strong>and neutral detergents - without bleach or strong perfumes - preserve their colour and softness. For garments with embroidery, lace or handmade prints, the secret is in turn garment inside out before washing<\/strong>protecting the delicacy of the design. 
In the case of haute couture dresses<\/a>, professional cleaning is mandatory<\/strong>. In our ateliers we recommend dyers who understand the symbolic value of each piece, those who know how to read embroidery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drying and ironing luxury garments: the importance of air and gesture <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air is the best dryer. The fibres breathe, expand and return to their natural shape without violence. Silk should never be twisted; it is spread out on a clean towel and left to dry. in the shade, away from direct sunlight<\/strong>. 
Ironing is a minor art within the great art of dressing: silk is ironed inside out, without steam; embroidery, protected by a cloth. And when the garment belongs to the world of haute couture, steam in the bath replaces ironing<\/strong>relaxing its fibres without altering its structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage: the place where luxury rests <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Storage is perhaps the biggest secret of preservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
