Sizing and Care Information

Designed to be worn, cared for, and kept

Lacorine pieces are made from natural fibres chosen for their performance and durability. With thoughtful care, alpaca garments maintain their softness, structure, and warmth over time — often improving with wear rather than wearing out.

Caring for natural fibres is part of their longevity, allowing each piece to age gracefully.

Caring for Alpaca Fibre

Alpaca is naturally resistant to odour and requires less frequent washing than many fibres. Regular airing between wears is often sufficient to keep garments fresh.

When cleaning is required, gentle methods help preserve the fibre’s natural qualities.

Washing

Hand wash gently in cool water using a mild, wool-safe detergent
Avoid rubbing, twisting, or wringing
Rinse carefully and press excess water out using a towel

For structured pieces or outerwear, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Drying

Lay flat on a clean towel, reshaping while damp
Allow to dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight
Avoid hanging, which can distort shape

Storage

Store garments folded rather than hung
Use breathable storage solutions
Protect from moths using natural repellents

Proper storage helps maintain shape and texture between seasons.

Wearing and Ageing

Alpaca fibres soften naturally over time. Subtle changes in texture are part of the character of natural materials and reflect wear rather than wear-out.

With considered use and care, alpaca garments are designed to remain part of a wardrobe for years.

A Slower Approach

Longevity is central to our philosophy. By choosing natural fibres, careful construction, and timeless design, we create pieces that reward care and invite long-term use.

Caring for natural fibres allows each piece to fulfil its purpose — to be worn, valued, and kept.
