Designed to be treasured. Cared for with intention.

Every Caleelilou garment is thoughtfully crafted using carefully selected fabrics and refined finishing techniques. With proper care, your piece can maintain its beauty and accompany you through many memorable occasions.

We recommend following the care instructions below to help preserve the colour, texture and silhouette of your garment.

1. General Care

• Handle delicate fabrics gently to avoid snagging, stretching or unnecessary friction.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing or drying your garment.
• Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
• Keep garments away from rough surfaces or sharp accessories that may damage delicate fabrics.

2. Silk

• Professional dry cleaning whenever possible.
• If hand washing is necessary, use cold water and a mild detergent specifically formulated for silk.
• Do not soak for extended periods.
• Do not wring or twist the fabric.
• Lay flat or hang to dry naturally in a shaded area.

3. Satin

• Gentle hand wash or professional dry clean.
• Wash separately using cold water.
• Avoid rubbing the fabric surface.
• Steam gently to remove wrinkles.
• Avoid high temperatures when ironing.

4. Organza, Tulle & Chiffon

These lightweight fabrics should be handled with extra care.

• Professional dry cleaning is recommended.
• Avoid pulling or snagging the fabric.
• Steam at a safe distance using low heat.
• Store hanging to help preserve the garment’s shape.

5. Lace & Embellished Garments

Garments featuring lace, sequins, crystals, pearls or hand-finished embellishments require additional care.

• Professional dry cleaning only.
• Avoid excessive friction.
• Store separately to prevent embellishments from catching on other garments.
• Handle gently when dressing and undressing.

6. Ironing & Steaming

• Use a garment steamer whenever possible.
• If ironing is necessary, use the lowest suitable temperature.
• Always place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
• Avoid direct heat on embellishments, lace or delicate trims.

7. Storage

To help preserve the garment’s silhouette:

• Hang garments on padded or wide-shoulder hangers.
• Store in a breathable garment bag.
• Avoid overcrowding wardrobes.
• Keep garments in a cool, dry environment.

For heavily embellished or structured pieces, laying the garment flat may be more suitable for long-term storage.

8. Travelling with Your Garment

When travelling:

• Use a garment bag whenever possible.
• Hang the garment immediately after arrival.
• Allow time for natural wrinkles to relax before steaming.
• Avoid folding delicate fabrics for extended periods.

10. Our Care Recommendation

Every Caleelilou garment is crafted using carefully selected fabrics and delicate finishing techniques.

To help preserve the beauty, structure and longevity of your garment, we recommend professional dry cleaning for most Caleelilou designs, particularly those made from silk, lace, embellished fabrics or garments featuring hand-finished details.

Proper care not only protects the fabric but also helps maintain the garment’s original silhouette and craftsmanship over time.
