Luxury lingerie is an investment — not just in style, but in comfort, confidence, and longevity. At IND Collections, we curate premium international lingerie that combines exceptional fit, craftsmanship, and timeless design. To ensure your pieces remain beautiful and functional, proper care is essential.
Why Care Matters
Even the highest-quality lingerie can lose shape, elasticity, and delicate details without careful handling. Fabrics like fine lace, silk blends, and microfibres require gentle treatment to maintain softness, support, and overall durability. By taking the time to care for your lingerie, you protect your investment and enjoy lasting comfort.
Essential Care Tips from IND Collections
Hand Wash, Always: Delicate lingerie benefits from gentle washing in cool water with mild detergent. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can stress seams, stretch fabrics, and damage embellishments.
Avoid Wringing or Twisting: Gently press excess water out of delicate pieces instead of wringing. This prevents stretching, deformation, and seam damage.
Dry Flat in Shade: Lay pieces flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Hanging can stretch straps and elastic, while sun exposure can fade colours and weaken fibres.
Rotate Your Pieces: Avoid wearing the same lingerie set repeatedly. Rotating pieces reduces wear and tear and allows fabrics to recover elasticity.
Store Thoughtfully: Organize bras and lingerie in drawers or boxes to prevent tangling, crushing, or snagging. Padded or molded bras should be stored upright to maintain shape.
