We recommend that our cotton matelassé coverlets and shams be professionally laundered, due to the size and weight of the coverlets, UNLESS they are prewashed.  In which case they can be machine-washed warm, tumble dry low.  You should still expect approximately a 3%-5% shrinkage in length and width.

For matelassés that are not prewashed, ask the launderer to pre-measure the coverlet, then wash in cold water with a mild, bleach-free detergent. The coverlet should then be blocked while wet to ensure minimal shrinkage. Normal shrinkage for this particular type of fabric is about 8%, and is allowed for when items are cut.

• Our sizes accommodate mattresses up to 15” in depth after laundering.
• Extra-deep and pillow top mattresses will alter this drop.  Please select your linens accordingly.
• Look for launderers that specialize in cleaning fine linens. They are expertly equipped to beautifully clean your 100% Egyptian Cotton linens  and duvet covers.
