Caring for Your Il Porticciolo Garments
At Il Porticciolo, each piece is made with love and designed to last. Proper care will help preserve the beauty, comfort, and quality of your child’s wardrobe. Below you’ll find care instructions by fabric type.
Knitwear Care (Wool, Cashmere, Merino)
Our Italian knitwear is delicate and deserves special attention:
-
Hand wash in cold water with a gentle wool detergent.
-
Avoid wringing; instead, gently press out excess water.
-
Dry flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
-
Store folded – never hang – to maintain shape and prevent stretching.
-
For pilling, use a fabric comb or depiller gently.
Cotton Care
Soft, breathable, and durable – our cotton garments are perfect for everyday wear.
-
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
-
Wash inside out to preserve colour and prints.
-
Use mild detergent – avoid bleach or strong stain removers.
-
Tumble dry low or hang dry naturally.
-
Iron on medium heat if needed.
Denim Care
Our Italian denim combines style and practicality. Treat it well to retain its shape and colour.
-
Turn inside out and wash at 30°C with like colours.
-
Avoid frequent washing to maintain the natural fade.
-
Air dry – tumble drying can shrink or weaken the fabric.
-
Do not bleach.
-
Iron on reverse if needed.
General Garment Care Tips
-
Always check the label inside your garment before washing.
-
Wash similar colours together.
-
Avoid overloading the washing machine – clothes need space to move.
-
For items with prints or embellishments, consider placing them in a laundry bag.
-
Avoid fabric softener on performance fabrics or stretchy items.
