✨ Fabric Care Guide – Keep Your Boho Beauties Looking Their Best

Whether you're floating through the tropics or just living your best life in laid-back luxury, your clothes deserve a little TLC. From soft rayon maxis to breezy cotton styles, here’s how to care for your Tonketti treasures so they last for years to come.

🌸 Rayon Care

Rayon is our go-to for hot days—it’s light, breathable, and feels like a dream against your skin.

• Wash: Cold, delicate cycle or handwash

• Dry: Line dry in the shade (no tumble dryers!)

• Special Note:

  • Crinkle rayon will shrink in cold water—don’t panic! It regains shape with a warm iron or just by wearing it.

  • Super fine rayon? Go gentle and handwash only.

Rayon prints beautifully and drapes like magic, making it perfect for flowing, boho silhouettes.

🌿 Cotton Care

Soft, durable, and oh-so-versatile, cotton is a wardrobe classic with a natural feel.

• Wash: Cold to warm gentle cycle

• Dry: Line dry or tumble dry on low (if you must)

• Tip: Natural cotton may crinkle—steam or warm iron for that fresh-out-of-the-wash glow

Cotton styles love a little love, and with proper care they’ll stay in your wardrobe rotation for seasons to come.

✨ Viscose Care

Often mistaken for silk, viscose has a luxurious sheen and ultra-soft touch.

• Wash: Cold handwash or delicate machine cycle in a wash bag

• Dry: Flat dry or line dry in shade

• Tip: Viscose can shrink when wet—gently reshape while damp and iron inside out if needed

Lightweight and floaty, viscose is perfect for dresses that dance in the breeze.

☀️ Linen & Linen Blends Care

Linen blends bring that effortless, natural texture we love—crinkled, comfy and cool.

• Wash: Cold wash on gentle or handwash

• Dry: Line dry or lay flat

• Tip: Embrace the lived-in look or give it a light steam for a cleaner finish

Linen softens with every wash and just gets better with age. Kind of like you, right?

💡 Pro Tips for All Fabrics

• Wash with like colours

• Avoid wringing or twisting garments

• Always check the label for any specific instructions
