Garment Care
Always wash and dry your garment according to the care label to keep it looking its best for longer. Our care labels will instruct you to use one of three cleaning methods:
Dry Clean
Take your dry clean clothes to a reputable dry cleaner. Check the garment’s label for specialist dry cleaning instructions – specialist leather clean, for example.
Machine Wash
Group your washing into whites, darks and brights to avoid colours running. Take care to wash your garment at the correct temperature – if in doubt, always wash at a lower temperature.
Hand Wash
Group your washing into whites, darks and brights to avoid colours running. Rinse your garment until the water runs clear after hand washing.
After Wash Care
Don’t tumble dry or iron garments unless stated on the care label. Always iron on the reverse of prints or trims.
Bag Care
To help maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your MAM MAW London bag, we recommend the following:
Please take care not to over-fill your bag as it may lose its form and you may damage the handles.
Leave wet handbags to dry naturally, never use artificial heat. Stuffing with newspaper will help maintain the shape of your bag whilst drying.
Bags embellished with beads and sequins are especially delicate. Please take particular care when wearing them as scuffing may damage them.
Footwear Care
To help maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your MAM MAW London footwear, we recommend the following:
Remove the clear protective film from the soles of your new shoes before wearing. Our leather soles are a natural product and are porous in wet conditions – to maintain the life of your MAM MAW London shoes we recommend that fine half rubber soles are fitted.
Leave wet shoes to dry naturally, never use artificial heat. Use a shoe tree or stuff them with newspaper to help maintain the shape of your shoes while drying.
Top pieces on heels (heel caps) are a replaceable component. Do not allow them to wear down – they should be replaced regularly by a reputable shoe repairer.
Use a shoe horn to prevent damage to the back of your MAM MAW London shoes when putting on and taking off.
Wearing shoes on very uneven, abrasive surfaces or when driving may weaken the shoes and could spoil the leather sole or intricate components. Thin and delicate heels must be worn with extra consideration.
Shoes embellished with beads and sequins are especially delicate. Please take particular care when wearing them as scuffing may damage them.
Insoles on mules and sandals may lift due to heat and perspiration. This is an unavoidable consequence of normal wear, but can be remedied by re-sticking, a very simple job that any reputable shoe repairer can do.
Espadrilles are a high quality beach shoe; please bear in mind that they are not designed for prolonged city use or to be worn in wet weather
