Care guide
Designed to Be Worn, Made to Last
Caring for your child’s clothing should feel as gentle as the garments themselves. With a thoughtful approach, each piece can be worn longer, passed on with ease, and remain part of everyday life for years to come.
Our garments are designed for longevity- to be worn, softened, and lived in. A few simple habits will help preserve their quality and natural feel over time.
The basics:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
- Use mild, eco-friendly detergent
- Line dry where possible, or tumble dry on low
- Avoid bleach and fabric softeners
- Iron on low if needed- or embrace a natural finish
A few considerations:
- Wash garments inside out to help preserve colour and surface
- Undo buttons before washing to maintain their shape
- Close zippers to protect more delicate fabrics
- Avoid overloading the machine to reduce wear
- Use only the recommended amount of detergent to prevent residue
Caring for these pieces is a simple extension of how they are made- with attention, softness, and intention. Over time, they are designed to become even more comfortable, carrying the marks of everyday wear with quiet ease.
Spot clean when needed
For small marks, treat locally before washing. A gentle spot clean can extend time between washes and help preserve the garment’s quality.
Choose Gentle Detergents
Opt for plant-based, non-toxic detergents free from harsh additives.
These help maintain the softness of the fabric while reducing unnecessary impact on the environment.
Dry Garments Naturally
Where possible, allow garments to dry in open air. Gently reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry.
This helps maintain fabric integrity, reduces shrinkage, and preserves the natural quality of the material.
Follow Individual Care Labels
Each Terra Amata piece is accompanied by its own care label, offering guidance specific to the garment.
Following these instructions helps preserve softness, shape, and natural character over time- supporting the longevity of each piece.
