Looking after your O!PA pieces keeps them in shape for longer, reduces waste and keeps your wardrobe smarter, not fuller. Always check the care label on each item first, as it takes priority over the general tips below.
Washing
- Wash at 30°C or lower. Cooler washes are gentler on fabrics and use less energy.
- Turn garments inside out to protect prints, logos and the outer surface.
- Wash with similar colours and close zips before washing.
- Use a mild detergent and skip fabric softener on performance fabrics.
Drying
- Air dry whenever possible. Lay knits and sweatshirts flat so they keep their shape.
- Avoid tumble drying, which can shrink fibres and fade colours.
- Keep pieces out of direct sunlight while drying to protect colours.
Ironing
- Iron on a low setting, inside out if needed.
- Never iron directly over prints or logos.
Storing
- Fold knits and heavier pieces instead of hanging them, to avoid stretching.
- Store clean, dry garments in a cool, dry place.
