Care Guide

At Laneway The Label we work with natural fibres chosen for their softness, movement and timeless feel. With thoughtful care, your garments will soften beautifully over time while maintaining their shape and detail.

For individual garment instructions, always refer to the care label attached to your piece and the fabric information listed on each product page.

Caring For Your Garments

Natural fibres and delicate fabrics require a gentler approach to washing, drying and storage.

To preserve the longevity of your pieces, we recommend:

  • Cold hand washing only
  • Using a gentle detergent
  • Washing with similar colours
  • Avoiding bleach or harsh stain removers
  • Never tumble drying
  • Drying garments naturally in shade
  • Steaming gently where needed

Many Laneway The Label garments feature embroidery, gathers, delicate trims and soft tailoring details which should be handled with care.

Cotton Voile Care Guide

What is Cotton Voile?

Cotton voile is a lightweight, breathable natural fabric with a soft, airy finish. It is commonly used throughout our dresses, blouses and vintage-inspired pieces for its effortless drape and romantic feel.

Because cotton voile is delicate by nature, gentle care is recommended.

How To Care For Cotton Voile

  • Cold hand wash only
  • Do not wring, twist or rub the fabric
  • Dry flat or hang carefully in shade
  • Steam lightly to release creases
  • Store folded or on a padded hanger

Over time, cotton voile naturally softens with wear — part of the beauty of the fabric.

Silk & Silk Blend Care

Caring For Silk Garments

Our silk and silk blend garments are delicate by nature and should be handled thoughtfully to preserve their softness and lustre.

How To Wash Silk

  • Hand wash gently in cold water
  • Use a silk-safe or delicate detergent
  • Do not soak for extended periods
  • Avoid direct sunlight when drying
  • Steam gently on low heat
  • Avoid rough jewellery or bags that may pull fibres

Slight texture variations and softness are part of the natural character of silk fabrics.

Embroidery, Lace & Delicate Trim Care

Many Laneway The Label garments feature embroidered panelling, lace trims and delicate finishing details.

To preserve these features:

  • Wash garments separately where possible
  • Avoid overcrowding basins while washing
  • Handle straps and trims carefully when wet
  • Do not pull loose threads
  • Store garments carefully to prevent snagging

Delicate details should always be treated gently to preserve the finish of the garment.

How To Dry Delicate Garments

Air drying is always recommended for delicate fabrics and natural fibres.

To protect the shape and integrity of your garments:

  • Dry garments naturally in shade
  • Avoid direct sunlight and heat exposure
  • Never tumble dry
  • Reshape garments gently while damp

Excessive heat may shrink fibres, fade colours and weaken delicate fabrics over time.

Steaming & Ironing Guide

A gentle steam is the preferred way to refresh most LWL garments.

If ironing is required:

  • Use a low heat setting
  • Turn garments inside out where possible
  • Place a cotton cloth between the iron and fabric
  • Avoid direct heat on embroidery, silk or trims

Delicate fabrics respond best to minimal heat and gentle handling.

Garment Storage Tips

Thoughtful storage helps extend the life of your wardrobe.

We recommend:

  • Storing garments in a cool, dry space
  • Avoiding overcrowded wardrobes
  • Folding delicate pieces carefully
  • Using padded or slimline hangers
  • Storing long-term pieces in breathable cotton garment bags

Natural fibres benefit from airflow and gentle storage conditions.

Designed To Soften Beautifully Over Time

Natural fabrics evolve with wear.

Slight softening, subtle texture variation and gentle fading are considered part of the beauty and character of delicate fibres including cotton voile and silk blends.

Our garments are designed to feel effortless, feminine and enduring.

Handmade In Small Quantities

Laneway The Label garments are designed in Australia and handmade in small quantities with a focus on craftsmanship, quality and timeless design.

Due to the handmade nature of many pieces, slight variations may occur and are considered part of the uniqueness of the garment.
