Care symbols: The secret key to the longevity of your clothes

More than just fabric – clothing deserves attention

Our clothes are more than a fashion statement – ​​they are part of our personality.
To maintain its shape, color and elegance over the years, it needs proper care.

The small symbols on the label are like a secret language:
They tell us how we should treat each garment to preserve its beauty.
Unfortunately, many people overlook these guidelines – but they are the easiest way to visibly maintain quality.

Why care instructions are so important

A properly cared-for garment stays beautiful longer – and that shows respect for the material and craftsmanship.
Each symbol on the label provides valuable information about the properties and needs of the fabric.

That's why it's worth paying attention to care symbols:

1. They protect the fabric structure

Cotton loves warmth, silk demands softness – each material has its own character.
Incorrect temperatures cause fibers to shrink or stretch.

2. They preserve the color brilliance

If you wash according to the label, you protect the brightness.
Dark tones benefit from gentle care with mild detergent and low temperature.

3. You save energy and protect the environment

Gentle care also means conscious consumption.
Proper washing reduces energy consumption and contributes to environmental protection.

4. You get the fit

If you follow the dryer symbols, you can prevent shrinkage and loss of shape – especially with stretchy fabrics containing elastane.

Care is love – not just cleaning

Proper care is not a detail, but an expression of style and appreciation.
If you treat clothes indiscriminately, you risk your favorite pieces losing their charm early on.

Common care mistakes:

• Washing too hot → fabric shrinks

• Incorrect drying → loss of shape
• Ironing too hot → material damage
