The PP ladies linen set — blouse and shorts in matching certified Belgian linen — requires specific care to maintain both the colour match between the two pieces and the quality of the individual garments over many seasons of wearing. The care is straightforward but the details matter.

Washing the blouse. Machine wash cold to 30 degrees maximum with a quality liquid detergent. The seashell buttons on the blouse are naturally sourced and should not be exposed to high temperatures or aggressive detergents that can affect their lustre. Wash inside-out to protect the buttons and the outer surface of the fabric. Never use chlorine bleach on Belgian linen — it breaks down the flax fibre and permanently weakens the cloth.

Washing the shorts. The PP ladies linen set shorts carry corozo nut buttons — palm tree nut buttons that are natural and durable but sensitive to heat and harsh chemicals in the same way as the seashell buttons. Machine wash cold, inside-out, gentle cycle.

Washing as a set. Always wash the blouse and shorts together in the same load to maintain the colour match between them. If the two pieces are washed separately over time — particularly at different temperatures or with different detergents — the colourways can drift apart, disrupting the matched set appearance. One load, both pieces, same conditions, every time.

Drying. Dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Certified Belgian linen can fade in prolonged direct UV exposure. Do not tumble dry — the heat causes shrinkage and can harden the linen fabric. The natural linen crease that develops during hang drying is part of the fabric's character; iron while slightly damp at medium-high heat for a crisper finish, or leave the natural crease for the resort context.

Storage. Store the set together — fold or hang both pieces as a pair. This maintains the colour relationship between the pieces and ensures the set reads as coherent when worn.
