Velvet leggings are a seasonal must-have, combining comfort, softness, and elegance. To extend their lifespan and keep them looking new, it's essential to take proper care of them. Here are our top tips for caring for your velvet leggings without damaging them.
1. Washing: at low temperature and inside out
Velvet is a delicate fabric that requires special care. To prevent it from losing its shine and suppleness, follow these recommendations:
-
Maximum washing temperature: 30°C
-
Turn your leggings inside out before washing to protect the fibers from rubbing against the drum of the machine.
-
Use a gentle program for delicate laundry
-
Choose a gentle detergent , without aggressive agents.
-
Absolutely avoid fabric softener : it breaks the elastic fiber and risks relaxing your leggings

2. Spin: moderate to avoid marks
Over-spinning can distort the velvet and damage its texture. It is recommended to:
-
Set the spin speed to 800 rpm maximum
-
Avoid wringing the fabric by hand after washing
3. Drying: air dry and flat
Tumble drying is not recommended , as excessive heat can damage the structure of the velvet and cause the leggings to stretch. Instead, dry naturally:

Avoid direct sunlight , which may dull the color
-
Do not hang your leggings on a hanger to prevent them from deforming.
