How To Launder a Katherine Partis Shirt 

You will find the following symbols on the care labels of the shirt:...

Machine Wash Warm (no more than 40 degrees C, as this could cause damage to the fabric).

TIP: Use a fabric softener for the best results

Iron on a Medium Heat (over heating may cause burning of the fabric)

TIP: Iron shirts whilst they are still slightly damp. This makes it much easier

Item can be Dry Cleaned (not with Trichloroethylene, ask your local dry cleaners)

Do Not Bleach (this could cause discolouration)

Do Not Tumble Dry (as a natural fibre, cotton can be damaged or shrink if over heated when drying)

TIP: Air dried items need less ironing if they have been laid flat or hung on a hanger

How To Care for Leather Belts

These are good quailty leather belts, so you should not need to do much to them to keep them looking great. As the leather is worn, it developes a characteristic patina

If you think the leather is getting a little dry, a little dubin goes a long way on a dry, clean cloth

The buckles can be lightly polished with a dry, dust free cloth

To store your belt, always loosely coil the belt with the buckle on the inside to prevent marking the leather. The buckle can be wrapped in acid free tissue paper to prevent scratches

All of the belts are professionally inked on the edges. It shouldn't be a problem, but we always recommend not wearing them with white clothing, such as linen, on the first few wearings

 

How To Care for Deck Shoes

All coloured deck shoes will fade with use, especially in the sun. The leather will soften and mould  to your feet with wear. This is a characteristic of these shoes that, in time, will make them "old friends" whilst on your adventures

Waxed Nubuck and Leather: There is a high content of wax in these shoes, so initially all you have to do is wear them. Should they get scratched, a gentle rub with your finger will usually buff it out. If the leather starts to look dry, use some dubin. Do not use boot polish.

Machine Washable Deck Shoes: The washing instructions are stitched into the inside of the shoe. Wash separately in cold water, on a gentle cycle, with liquid soap. Air dry only and do not bleach

Suede Loafers: These shoes are made from good quality German suede. To protect the suede, spray with a protective suede spray before the first wearing (available from supermarkets). Try not to get them wet, but if you do, put tissue paper inside to hold the shape and air dry them. If you get mud on them, allow to dry first and then brush gently with a soft/rubber brittled brush

How To Care for Jackie Brazil Jewellery

Resin is to be treated like a piece of ceramic. If it is dropped on a hard surface it will shatter.

To care for a Jackie Brazil item, all that is required is a soft cloth and a small amount of silicon based furniture polish or oil.

If the product gets badly scratched it can be polished with "Brasso" metal polish.
