How to Care for a Cashmere or Wool Coat

A beautifully made coat is designed to last beyond one season. With the right care, natural fibers such as cashmere, wool, alpaca, and mohair can keep their softness, structure, and quiet beauty for years.

The first rule is simple: avoid machine washing. Natural fiber coats should be professionally dry cleaned when needed. Washing at home may affect the shape, texture, lining, and overall structure of the garment.

After each wear, allow your coat to rest before storing it. Hang it on a wide-shoulder hanger to help preserve the natural shape of the shoulders and body. At Evelluna, each coat is thoughtfully prepared with a complimentary hanger to support proper storage from the beginning.

Light brushing can also help maintain the surface of the fabric. Use the included garment brush gently in one direction to remove light dust and refresh the texture. This is especially helpful for cashmere, wool, alpaca, and mohair blends, which benefit from soft, regular care rather than frequent cleaning.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, perfume, and heavy friction. When storing your coat for a longer period, keep it in a cool, dry place with enough space around it, so the fabric can breathe and the silhouette remains undisturbed.

A luxury coat does not need complicated care, but it does need thoughtful care. Dry cleaning when necessary, gentle brushing, and proper hanging can help protect the coat’s natural softness, structure, and longevity.

The more carefully a coat is cared for, the more naturally it becomes part of your wardrobe — season after season.
