Zadig&Voltaire's women's collection has one aim: freeing women from constraints so they can express themselves through style, without limitations. All of our pieces are crafted from quality materials. Here’s how to take care of them.
We recommend not exposing your leather items to a heat source and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun. In the event of accidental water exposure, leave your item to dry at room temperature, away from direct light. Avoid routinely overloading your handbag or clutch. To prolong its life, store your leather item in a cotton dust bag. Ideally, when storing your handbag, place tissue paper in it as padding to maintain its shape. In the event of getting a grease stain, you can use Fuller’s Earth powder, which should be left on the item to absorb at least overnight, then gently removed by hand or with a brush. If your item needs significant restoration, we recommend contacting a leather specialist.
To maintain the shine of an item in smooth or grained leather (lambskin or calfskin), we recommend using a leather cream or polish.
For protection from rain and stains, any suede item needs waterproofing before you first use it. Follow the instructions for use on any waterproofing product you choose. Remember to repeat this on a regular basis, as waterproofing loses its effect over time. Brush your suede item frequently with a special brush to remove dust and keep the color bright. A special note: cream or polish should never be used on a suede item.
Zadig&Voltaire cashmere can be hand washed. Be mindful not to let it soak in water. We recommend washing it in the washing machine, at a temperature of 68°F with a small amount of wool detergent, without using fabric softener. Washing it in a machine reduces pilling over time. It’s not necessary to wash your cashmere each time you wear it, and we suggest you avoid wearing it several days in a row to allow the material to breathe and recover.
We recommend washing your cashmere inside out and putting it inside a washing net or a pillowcase without buttons, to avoid damaging it. The spin cycle speed should not exceed 400 rpm.
At the end of the cycle, delicately remove the water from your cashmere garment using a terry cloth towel. Dry flat to keep the item’s shape. It must be air-dried, away from sunlight and sources of direct heat. It can be turned inside out and gently steam-ironed at a maximum temperature of 230°F. While ironing, take care not to stretch the material.
