Quick answer
Clean lingerie accessories gently by hand, avoid harsh chemicals, and store each piece separately to prevent tangling or damage.
Why separate care matters for mixed materials
Lingerie accessories combine delicate textiles with metal hardware, beads, or chains. A single cleaning method can damage one material while cleaning another. For example, the Ophelia cuffs feature embroidered fabric and gold-tone hardware, so they need a different approach than the all-metal Gia Cuffs Black. Knowing the materials in each accessory helps you choose the right care routine.
Step-by-step care guide
- Check the care tag first: Look for any manufacturer instructions on the accessory. Most lingerie accessories should be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softener. If there is no tag, assume hand wash only.
- Hand wash gently: Fill a bowl with cool water and a small amount of lingerie wash. Submerge the accessory and swish gently. For metal parts, avoid scrubbing. Rinse with cool water until soap is gone. Do not wring or twist; squeeze out water gently.
- Air dry flat away from heat: Lay the accessory on a clean, dry towel. Reshape if needed. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or hair dryers. Heat can warp metal and damage embroidery. Never tumble dry or hang metal accessories by their chains.
- Store each piece separately: Use a soft pouch, a small jewelry box, or a compartmentalized drawer organizer. For chain cuffs like the Gia Cuffs Black, fasten the clasp and lay them flat to avoid tangles. For beaded chokers like the Frida Choker Gold, coil loosely in a lined box. Separate storage prevents scratches and knots.
- Clean hardware after each wear: Wipe metal parts with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and sweat. For gold-tone finishes, use a jewelry polishing cloth occasionally. Avoid liquid cleaners unless specified. Regular wiping prevents tarnish buildup.

Ophelia Cuffs: The Ophelia cuffs feature leaf-inspired embroidery and gold-tone hardware with adjustable sizing. The embroidered fabric is prone to fraying if machine washed, so hand wash only and avoid soaking the hardware.

Frida Choker Gold: The Frida Choker Gold features draped beaded chains that create a standout look around the neck. Beaded chains are delicate; avoid pulling or twisting, and store the choker in a separate compartment to prevent beads from catching on other items.
