Care & Maintenance Instructions 🧥
Preserve the Beauty of Your Gothic Statement:
- Dry Clean Only — The delicate velvet and jacquard embroidery require professional dry cleaning to maintain texture, sheen, and embellishment integrity
- Storage Considerations — Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dark closet. Velvet is sensitive to light exposure and can develop a crushed pile if hung improperly or stored compressed
- Brush Against the Pile — Occasionally brush the velvet gently with a soft-bristled garment brush in the opposite direction of the pile to restore luster
- Moisture Protection — Avoid excessive humidity and moisture; velvet can water-mark. If the coat becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat
- Jewelry & Hardware — The metal buttons and buckle may tarnish with time; this adds to the gothic aesthetic patina. For restoration, consult a professional jeweler or tailor
- Pilling Prevention — Minimize friction with rough fabrics or surfaces; velvet can develop pilling with extended wear
The Gothic Philosophy Behind This Coat
