The Care of Sara Cristina Pieces
Simple gestures can help preserve the form and texture of each garment. From rinsing swimwear after the sea to carefully protecting hand-sewn details, thoughtful care ensures your pieces remain as they were always intended, season after season.
Swimwear
Rinse in cool, fresh water after every use to wash away salt, sand, and sunscreen. Use a mild soap or delicate detergent to clean the fabric without altering its shape. Avoid fabric softeners, which weaken elasticity. Let pieces dry flat in the shade, never wrung or twisted. When storing, ensure each swimsuit is fully dry and fold softly or place in its fabric bag to protect both color and form.
Ready to Wear
Wash in cold water, either by hand or on a delicate cycle, with a gentle detergent. Allow garments to air dry, laid flat or hung in the shade. Iron on a low setting if needed, or use steam to release creases naturally.
Special Details
Many designs are finished with hand-sewn pearls and shells, created in collaboration with artisans. These natural elements require extra care. Avoid pulling or stretching near them and keep them away from harsh chemicals or perfumes.
Because each piece is handmade, variations will occur. These differences are part of what makes every garment unique. To extend their life, we include extra shells with your order. If one should fall, you may replace it easily by sewing it back onto the garment.
With these simple practices, your Sara Cristina pieces will carry their essence forward, season after season, remaining as refined and considered as the day they were made.
