Maintaining your eco-responsible clothing to make it last

We all try to consume ethically and create a wardrobe that reflects our image . But we never really know how to take care of our eco-friendly clothes , that's why we decided to give you our best advice!

At Luz Collections , we believe in fashion that makes sense. A style that combines aesthetics, ethics, and sustainability . Choosing eco-responsible clothing means choosing committed fashion that respects the environment, biodiversity , and your personal well-being .

Even though ethical fashion begins in our design studio, it extends into our everyday actions. To ensure your sportswear retains its shine, softness, and perfect fit over time , gentle, regular, and conscious care is essential .

What if taking care of your clothes became a real well-being ritual, a moment of pause in our hectic lives?

Making consciousness last even in the washing machine

Ethical clothing is made to be durable . It has been carefully designed, meticulously assembled, and thought to withstand the changing seasons . But to keep its promises, it deserves your full attention.

No need for complex techniques or sophisticated products. All you need is a simple, natural, and caring routine:

  • Gentle temperature, guaranteed effectiveness: For most textiles, washing at 30°C is more than sufficient. This protects delicate materials and natural colors, and extends the garment's lifespan.

  • Green laundry detergent, clean results: Choose an eco-friendly laundry detergent free from harmful chemicals. A homemade recipe using Marseille soap, white vinegar, or baking soda is just as effective—and much gentler on your skin and clothes.

  • Wash inside out and use a mesh bag: To avoid friction and preserve your prints, remember to turn your clothes inside out before machine washing. For delicate items, you can use a mesh bag.

Simple gestures that change everything

Garment care isn't just about the end of the wash cycle. It's all those little daily actions that, taken together, make all the difference .

  • Air dry: Tumble drying, even on a gentle setting, can be harsh on natural fibers. Air dry, preferably in the shade, to prevent colors from fading.

  • Light and careful ironing: Not all fabrics require ironing. For those that do, use an iron at a moderate temperature and a touch of steam. Remember to always iron inside out, especially if the fabric is patterned or embroidered.

  • Smart storage: Some garments, such as knits or heavy fabrics, are better folded than hung. This prevents warping, stretching, and shoulder marks. Use hangers that fit the shape of your garments for other items.

  • Closet Ventilation: Remember to ventilate your storage spaces regularly. A closet that's too closed can promote humidity or unpleasant odors. A well-ventilated closet is a healthy environment for your clothes.

Repair, recycle, revalue: give your clothes a second life

A rip in your favorite leggings ? A slightly worn seam on your iconic bra ? No way you're parting with it :

  • Repair with love : A simple thread, a needle, and a little patience are usually enough to give your Luz pieces a new lease of life. Sewing a seam becomes an act of care, an extension of the story you weave with your clothes.

  • Customize or transform : a top that's become too small can be transformed into a bralette. An old piece can become an accessory. Don't hesitate to use your creativity to extend the life of your clothes.

Taking care is extending style and commitment

By taking thoughtful care of your clothes , you're valuing more than just textiles: you're showcasing a process , a story , and craftsmanship . Every item you wear has been made with passion, with consideration for materials, craftsmanship, and the planet.

Taking care of your clothes also means taking care of yourself . It encourages you to slow down, to be gentle, to pay attention to what you wear as much as to how you feel. Maintenance then becomes a kind of personal ritual , relaxing, almost meditative.

At Luz Collections, we believe that fashion is more than just clothing . It's about the actions we take, the attention we give it, and the care we give it.

Extend the story of your clothes. Cherish them. Love them. Make them last.

When one of your Luz pieces truly reaches the end of its life, give it a second chance:

  • Give it: to an association or to a friend.

  • Recycle it : via local textile channels.

  • Upcycle it at home: into a clutch, sports headband, tote bag... The possibilities are endless.

Because a well-maintained garment is a garment that lasts longer, that lasts through seasons, memories, and years.

And that's how it becomes much more than an everyday object: a life companion, a reflection of you.
