Garment Care

Garment Care

The pieces we make are designed to last, but that's a two-way thing. How you care for them matters just as much as how they're made. We've kept care as simple as possible, because a garment you can actually look after is one you'll keep wearing.

All Steén pieces can be gently hand washed or machine washed. You'll find the full instructions on the care label inside each garment, and below is guidance specific to each piece in the collection.

Madrid Trousers (Tencel™ Lyocell)

The Madrid trousers can be washed by hand or in the washing machine at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid drying in direct sunlight. After washing or wearing, steam or iron on medium heat to restore the fabric’s natural drape and lustre.

Stockholm Jumper (Baby Alpaca)

Baby alpaca is a naturally resilient fibre and rarely requires frequent washing. Often, simply airing the garment is enough to refresh it.

When needed, gently hand wash the Stockholm jumper in cold water using a wool-specific detergent. Lay flat to dry, reshaping while damp and keeping it away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging while wet, as this may distort the shape. Do not tumble dry.

Copenhagen Cardigan (Cashwool® Merino)

The Copenhagen Cardigan, crafted from Cashwool® extra-fine merino, benefits from gentle and minimal washing. Merino wool is naturally breathable and odour-resistant, meaning less frequent washing is required.

When washing is needed, use a wool cycle at 30°C or hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Light steaming can be used to restore softness and smoothness. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the fibre.

Hawaii T-Shirt (Organic Cotton)

The Hawaii T-shirt, made from 100% organic cotton, can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle or washed by hand. Wash with similar colours and use a mild detergent.

To maintain the fabric’s softness and shape, avoid high heat. Air dry on a hanger or lay flat, away from direct sunlight. Iron on low to medium heat if needed.

Caring for your garments with intention not only preserves their quality, it's also part of living with less waste. Buying less, choosing well and wearing often.
