social upcycles and reworks a wide range of vintage clothing.
sometimes our upcycling processes create the need for your piece of social clothing to be taken care of in particular ways in order to preserve the artwork.
for vintage clothing with hand painted artwork directly on the garment, turn the piece inside out and hand wash or cold wash the garment, then hang the piece to dry.
for vintage outerwear or shirts with removable artwork attached, simply remove the artwork, wash the garment cold, hang to dry and reattach the artwork after drying.
for vintage shirts that have no additional artwork directly on the clothing, it is likely safe to wash as you would your other clothes, if the garment still has its original tag you may follow the instructions as described, but we always recommend washing your clothes cold and using little to no heat to dry them as the most environmentally sustainable option.
