How to Care for Print Bedding
Our French toiles and vintage florals are printed on 100% cotton poplin. Here is how to keep them soft and pretty.
Printed, then washed
Pre-shrunk and soft
We design and print our toiles and florals in small batches on 100% cotton poplin. We print the fabric, then wash it so it is pre-shrunk, soft and ready for your bed. Care notes differ from piece to piece, so always check the care note on your item's product page.

Good to know
Will my print bedding shrink?
We wash our prints after printing so they are pre-shrunk. Follow the care note on your piece.
Can I iron it?
Our cotton care says iron if desired. Our print product pages do not add anything different.
Can I dry clean it?
Our print care notes are all machine wash instructions and do not call for dry cleaning.
Will colors match if I buy more later?
We dye and print in small batches, so colors can vary slightly from lot to lot and later orders are not guaranteed to match. Order everything you need at the same time, and order a fabric swatch if you would like to see a color first.

Good laundry habits
These are general laundering habits, not product instructions. Your item's care note always comes first.
General tips
- Wash with similar colors.
- Do not overload the machine, so pieces can move freely.

- Gently shake out and smooth ruffles while they are still damp.
