The fabric variations and imperfections are meant to bring character and authenticity, making them truly one of a kind. As you wear your pieces, they will soften and break in, just like a quality pair of leather boots. The evolution of the piece is a story and a journey. The pieces should be hung on a hanger or hook, or laid flat when not worn. They are also welcome to join you for a swim in the sea. Each piece should be rinsed with fresh water and properly hung to dry. As with any material it will soften, change, and fade with the sun and salt. How you wear and wear-in your piece is entirely up to you. Handle with love and care.
