Care tips

Washing machine, wash at 30°

For optimal machine cleaning, it is important to follow certain washing instructions. But for this type of fabric, a wash at 30°C is sufficient to remove dirt and stains without damaging the fibres. A gentle cycle will keep the original look longer.

Neutral detergent

To optimise the cleaning of your fabrics, it is recommended to use a mild, hypoallergenic detergent. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage fabric fibres and cause discolouration or premature wear.

Washing machine - delicate fabrics

When washing delicate fabrics in the washing machine, it is very important not to overload the machine, as this can compress the fibres and damage them. A delicate cycle at 30° maximum will keep the original look longer.

Wash fabrics of the same colour together to avoid fading or unwanted colour transfer.
It is also recommended to use a laundry net to protect delicate fabrics during washing. Laundry netting helps prevent excessive rubbing and stretching which can damage the fabric fibres and cause the gold or silver appliqués on some of our fabrics to fade.

Europe (European Union)

We have integrated the IOSS system (Import One-Stop Shop) to simplify your European orders:

Orders ≤ €150 (excluding shipping) : VAT is collected at checkout via IOSS: no VAT to pay on arrival. Since the EU customs reform of 1 July 2026, a flat customs duty of €3 per product category applies to low-value parcels: it is collected by the carrier upon delivery, together with its handling fee. These charges are set by the carrier and are not paid to us.

Orders > 150€: Thanks to the EU–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, our products made in Japan benefit from total exemption from customs duties. Only VAT and carrier handling fees apply at delivery.

Canada

For Canada, the customs exemption threshold is set at 20 CAD. Thanks to the free trade agreement between Canada and Japan, our Japanese products are generally exempt from customs duties even if the value exceeds this threshold. However, once the order exceeds 20 CAD, GST/HST is applied to the entire declared value, even though customs duties often remain nil for these products.

Australia

Although the exemption threshold is 1,000 AUD, it is important to note that GST (Goods and Services Tax, equivalent to 10%) applies to all imports from Japan, regardless of the declared value.

For orders exceeding 1,000 AUD, in addition to GST, customs duties (generally around 5% depending on the type of product) may be applied during clearance.

United Kingdom (UK)

In the United Kingdom, the customs exemption threshold is set at 135 GBP. However, thanks to the UK‑Japan CEPA, most customs duties on our products made in Japan are waived.

Thus, even for orders exceeding 135 GBP, our Japanese products are not subject to customs duties. However, VAT (generally 20%) and carrier fees are still applicable upon importation.
