Care Guide for the Summer Perfect Jumper

It’s not rocket science, it’s not even close.

Taking care of your knitwear is a breeze if you stick to a few simple guidelines.

The Summer Perfect Jumper is made from 100% organic cotton with hard-wearing, compact yarns. But let's face it, knitted garments are a tad more delicate than their woven counterparts. They're not fans of drumming machines, so opt for a gentle 30°C cycle, followed by a low-key spin at 400 rpm when laundry day calls.

Remember the golden rule: knitted garments should be dried flat, wherever you like, but flat.

If you lay it out any other way, you're sure to end up with a misshapen, unwearable garment, which would be a real shame.

Also, avoid direct sunlight to keep those colours looking fresh like a summer morning breeze.

Since 1 January 2024, the New French environmental legislation known as The AGEC Law stipulates transparency from our lot in the fashion industry so that you can make an informed purchase. As you can imagine, this is something that we fully support at Asphalte. So here's some additional information about our Summer Perfect Jumpers:

• They’re 100% recyclable after being dismantled, which means that the day their services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing them for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing them on to a friend, family member or donating them to a charity. The best way of reducing an item of clothing’s impact is by keeping it in circulation, and only recycling it when there really is no life or use left in it.
• No microplastics are released during washing. Unlike many garments, our Summer Perfect Jumpers have been designed to not release any microplastics. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that are released when worn or washed and have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems.
• They do not contain any hazardous materials. They’re manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• They do not contain any recycled materials. We try to incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Summer Perfect Jumper.

That's all there is to it.

Remember to take it off from time to time. We know it's comfortable and all but it does need a break to keep it looking its best. And the occasional wash of course.

We'll be back in touch in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting on.
