For light stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric unnecessarily.

hand wash only

in cold water with a mild, bleach-free detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting or wringing the fabric.

Avoid machine washing:

Do not machine wash, as the padding and inner filling may become deformed.

Drying:

Never tumble dry. Instead, lay the garment flat on a clean, absorbent surface (such as a towel) to dry naturally. Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause shrinkage.
