Product Care & Circular Fashion
At Sostter, we believe that caring for your purchases is just as important as choosing them. Our commitment to circular fashion means we're dedicated to helping you extend the life of your fashion, homeware, and jewelry through thoughtful maintenance, repair, and sustainable practices.
Embracing Circular Fashion
Circular fashion is all about creating a sustainable lifecycle for your products. Instead of the traditional "take-make-dispose" model, circular fashion encourages reuse, repair, and recycling to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.
By choosing Sostter, you're not just buying a product—you're supporting a movement towards a more sustainable and responsible fashion industry.
General Care Tips
Proper care can extend the life of your products. Here’s how:
Fashion
- Washing: Follow care labels, use cold water, and avoid over-washing to preserve fabric quality.
- Storage: Store garments in breathable garment bags and avoid overcrowding to maintain their shape.
- Ironing: Iron inside out and on a low heat setting to protect delicate fabrics.
Homeware
- Cleaning: Use appropriate cleaning agents for each material (e.g., a soft cloth for ceramics, mild cleaner for metals).
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect and repair minor damage to keep your items functional and beautiful.
- Storage: Keep homeware in a dust-free, dry environment.
Jewelry
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or a jewelry-specific cleaner to remove oils and dirt.
- Storage: Keep pieces in individual compartments to prevent scratches and tangles.
