How Do You Store Winter Coats Properly During Off-Season?
Storing your luxury outerwear correctly during the off-season ensures it stays in perfect condition for years to come. Whether it's a cashmere coat, a shearling jacket, or a fox fur masterpiece, proper storage techniques can prevent moth damage, creases, discoloration, and fiber breakdown.
Here’s how to store your winter coats the MULVANNI way:
1. Clean Before Storage
Always professionally clean your coat before storing it. Lingering dirt, body oils, or perfumes can stain and attract pests over time.
2. Use the Right Hanger
Choose a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and structure. Avoid wire hangers which can distort the garment.
3. Cover with a Garment Bag
Opt for a breathable cotton garment bag rather than plastic. Plastic traps moisture, which can lead to mildew and damage natural fibers like cashmere and fur.
4. Store in a Cool, Dry Space
Avoid attics or basements that are prone to humidity or temperature fluctuations. Aim for a dark, cool closet with ventilation. You can even add cedar wood blocks for a natural anti-moth solution.
5. Don’t Crush or Fold
Never compress heavy coats in crowded wardrobes. Give each coat space to breathe and avoid stacking, especially for items like fox fur coats that require room to retain volume.
Following these tips ensures your MULVANNI coats remain as stunning and luxurious as the day you bought them.
