Preserving Your Pre-Owned Art Apparel

Whenever we add a vintage screen-printed piece to our personal rotation, we follow strict care steps to keep the cotton fibers and graphics in museum condition:

  1. Wash inside out on a cold, delicate cycle to prevent print friction.
  2. Line dry in the shade to protect the vibrant yellow fabric from sun fading.
  3. Never iron directly over graphics or screen prints.
