How do I care for my brushed gold cutlery and matte black cutlery?This finish is 18/10 Stainless Steel with a coloured titanium coating applied using Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). PVD creates a vibrant colour that if cared for using the below instructions, will stay bright for years to come. Dishwasher is fine when following these instructions: Please don't use FAIRY PLATINUM, PLATINUM PLUS, FINISH or FINISH QUANTUM ULTIMATE PRO dishwasher tablets. These products are abrasive on the PVD coating. Avoid detergents with a phosphate level below 3% and avoid sodium. Rinse your cutlery before placing in the dishwasher. Do not wash in temperatures exceeding 60°C Dry your pieces before putting them away with a soft, lint free cloth as detergent and water will leave marks or rust spots if left to air dry. Handwashing is preferred Use mild dishwashing detergent only (we use an organic dishwashing liquid, which is gentle on the cutlery and also gentle on your hands). Wash your pieces before their first use with warm water and any mild household detergent. Acidity and salt in food can cause damage to stainless steel if left unwashed too long. Make sure you clean your pieces after every use to keep them in top condition. Do not leave your cutlery to soak. Dry your pieces before putting them away with a soft, lint free cloth as detergent and water will leave marks or rust spots if left to air dry. Never use an abrasive cloth or scourer, this will cause irreparable scratches.

How do I care for my linen napkins?Crafted for everyday elegance, our linen dining pieces are designed to be both beautiful and practical. With the right care, your napkins will age gracefully and serve as timeless staples for your gatherings. We Recommend: Machine wash separately in lukewarm water (below 40°C) on a gentle or delicate cycle. Use a mild detergent free from bleach or optical brighteners (such as Softly Delicates). Spot clean any spills promptly with cool or lukewarm water. Air-dry in the shade to prevent fading and fibre stress. Lightly press or steam if desired to smooth creases and elevate the look of your table setting. To Preserve the Beauty of Your Linen: Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and fabric softeners, as they can damage fibres and affect the finish. Refrain from washing in hot water or tumble-drying at high temperatures. Do not leave wet linen folded or stored — always ensure it's fully dry before packing away. Keep away from direct sunlight during drying and storage to prevent discolouration over time.
