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:

-
Dry flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
-
Store folded – never hang – to maintain shape and prevent stretching.

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.

Our Italian denim combines style and practicality. Treat it well to retain its shape and colour.
