Care Guide

Our best care tips, all in one place — so your Tenshoppe pieces stay looking new for longer.

Wash Cold & Inside Out

Cold water and an inside-out wash protect color, print and shape.

Air Dry

Skip the dryer where you can — heat shrinks fabrics and breaks down stretch.

Always follow the instructions on the garment's care tag first.

Fabric 101

Different fabrics need different love. Here's how to care for the materials you'll find across the range.

Cotton, Viscose & Linen

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  • Wash inside out to protect prints and the surface.
  • Lay flat or hang to dry; avoid high heat to prevent shrinking.
  • Warm iron if needed.

Denim, Fleece & Faux Fur

  • Turn inside out and wash cold, separately for the first few washes.
  • Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry to keep the shape and shade.
  • For faux fur, shake out and gently brush to revive the pile.

Activewear, Swimwear & Soft Fit

  • Rinse swimwear in cold water straight after wearing.
  • Machine wash cold on gentle — never use fabric softener.
  • Air dry only; heat damages elastic and stretch fibers.

Lace & Satin

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean as labelled.
  • Use a mild detergent and never wring.
  • Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Cool iron on the reverse if needed.

Sequins, Mesh & Embellished

  • Spot clean where possible, or hand wash cold inside out.
  • Use a mesh laundry bag to protect detailing.
  • Never tumble dry — always lay flat.
  • Do not iron directly over sequins or trims.

Bags & Shoes

  • Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
  • Stuff bags and shoes to hold their shape in storage.
  • Keep away from water, heat and direct sunlight.

PU (Polyurethane / Faux Leather)

  • Spot clean only with a soft, damp cloth — do not machine wash.
  • Avoid heat, which can crack or warp the finish.
  • Store flat or hanging, away from sharp objects.

Knitwear

  • Hand wash cold or use a delicates bag on a wool cycle.
  • Never wring — press the water out gently.
  • Dry flat in its natural shape, away from direct heat.
  • Fold rather than hang to avoid shoulder bumps.

Jewelry

  • Keep away from water, perfume, lotion and sweat.
  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
  • Store separately in a dry pouch to prevent scratching and tarnish.
