When you embark on your travels, your wardrobe plays an essential role, often working overtime to keep pace with your adventures. With just a bit of careful planning and foresight, you can ensure that your beloved Hank & Hera pieces retain their pristine appearance and style throughout your journey.
Here are some practical tips for effectively caring for your garments while on the move, enabling you to maintain an effortlessly chic look no matter where your travels take you.
1. Pack Smart
Use packing cubes or garment bags to keep your clothes organised and free from wrinkles. Place delicate items, such as our silk Lilli dress, in a lightweight garment bag or between layers of tissue paper to safeguard the fabric.
2. Handle Wrinkles with Ease
Many of our styles, such as the Jacqui and Lilli silk dresses, are wrinkle-resistant. However, hanging the garment in a steamy bathroom or using a portable travel steamer can work wonders for any creases that may appear. Avoid ironing silk or jersey directly; instead, use a low-heat setting with a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
3. Quick Freshen-Up
Airing your clothes overnight can help keep them fresh while travelling for extended periods. For cotton pieces like the Emma set or Lauren nightie, a quick hand wash with a gentle detergent can freshen them up in no time. These fabrics dry quickly, making them ideal for repeated wear.
4. Avoid Overpacking
Our travel-friendly designs, such as the Emma set and Lilli dresses, are lightweight and compact, allowing you to pack smarter without the bulk. Opt for versatile pieces that enable you to look and feel great on a number of occasions to keep your luggage light and organised.
5. Protect Your Pieces
If you’re carrying items like makeup or toiletries, seal them in a separate pouch to avoid spills. Silk garments, in particular, should be kept away from liquids to prevent stains.
Taking proper care of your Hank & Hera garments while travelling can keep them looking great for longer. With some thoughtful care, you can ensure your wardrobe stays fresh no matter where you are. Whether unwinding in a cozy hotel or dazzling at a glamorous event, your beautifully curated outfits will always be ready to enchant and make a lasting impression on everyone around you.
