You’ve just unboxed your Velure 3-Piece Set. Whether it’s the ethereal Dreamy Peach or the bold Magnificent Grey, that first touch of high-grade satin and plush artificial fur is unforgettable. It feels like a luxury—and like any luxury, it deserves a little TLC to stay "Instagram-perfect" from your bridal prep to your honeymoon.
As a brand dedicated to affordable luxury, we want your pieces to last far beyond the wedding day. Here is the definitive guide to maintaining the lustre of your satin and the fluff of your fur.
1. The "First Date" Rule: The Initial Wash
Our signature artificial fur is lush and voluminous. Because it is high-density, you may notice slight shedding when you first take it out of the box. Don't panic! This is completely normal for non-detachable trim.
-
The Pro-Tip: Give your new set a separate initial wash before wearing it. This settles the fibres and ensures your bridal suite stays fur-free while you’re getting your hair and makeup done.
2. Hand Wash vs. Machine Wash
While Velure sets are designed for the modern, busy woman, the method you choose affects the longevity of the "cloud-soft" feel.
-
The Gold Standard (Hand Wash): To keep the fur looking "ethereal," we recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild, silk-friendly detergent. Avoid twisting or wringing the fur trim.
-
The Convenient Route (Machine Wash): If you’re short on time, use a cold, gentle cycle. Crucial: Place your set inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent the fur from snagging on the machine’s drum or other garments.
3. Drying Without the Drama
Heat is the enemy of satin and artificial fur. To keep your robe looking "Ready to Ship Today" fresh:
-
Skip the Dryer: Never tumble dry. High heat can melt the delicate synthetic fibers of the fur, causing it to mat or lose its sheen.
-
Air Dry Only: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can fade the rich pigments of our Peacock Blue or Maroon sets.
4. The "Fluff-Up" Secret
Once your robe is dry, the fur might look a little flat. Here is our stylist's secret:
The Velure Fluff Technique: Take a soft-bristled brush (or a clean wide-tooth comb) and gently stroke the fur trim. This separates the fibers and restores that signature "fuzzy" volume you fell in love with.
