Product Care

Sabi garments are made with care from beautiful fabrics. To maintain their beauty, feel and longevity, we recommend that you treat them well. Washing, drying and storing garments correctly makes all the difference. Please follow these instructions; your garments will thrive for years to come.

Swimwear

How to Care

Our swimwear predominantly features heavy weight nylon spandex, a premium material known for its exceptional durability and comfort while maintaining its shape over time. Proper care ensures enduring style and quality.

For optimal preservation:

  • After wearing, hand wash your swimwear in fresh cold water with mild soap. This gentler approach protects the colour, shape, and fabric structure while reducing energy consumption.
  • Lay it flat to dry in the shade, ensuring complete dryness before storing.
  • Avoid ironing, bleaching, or machine washing.
  • Prevent excessive contact with suntan oils, lotions, heavily chlorinated water, and overheated pools and spas, as they can damage and discolour swimwear.
  • Additional care instructions can be found on the tag inside the swimsuit for reference.

Ready To Wear

Linen

Lightweight, breathable and widely known as the world’s strongest fibre, linen is our favourite fabric. Made from the stalk of the flax plant, linen is a sustainable, biodegradable fibre that can be produced with minimal water, pesticides and fertiliser. It’s also fast-drying, naturally insulating and improves with age.

To maintain your garment’s quality, we recommend washing in cold or cool water (30 degrees maximum) with a dash of mild, natural detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Don’t wash with heavier garments, such as jeans or jackets, as this can damage your linen.

To dry, lay the garment flat on a towel (avoid hangers) and leave in a shaded area. Once dry, store your garment in a cool, dry place, either hung or folded. Linen is prone to creasing with wear. You can iron it, but you should spritz garments with water before pressing; dampening linen relaxes its fibres, making it easier to remove creases.

Do not tumble dry. Exposing garments to lengthy periods of heat at high temperatures damages fibres and shrinks garments. Always refer to your garment’s label for precise care instructions.

Cotton

Robust, breathable and lightweight, cotton is an exceptional natural fibre. 

To maintain your garment’s quality, we recommend washing in cold or cool water (30 degrees maximum) with a dash of mild, natural detergent. To dry, lay the garment flat on a towel (avoid hangers) and leave in a shaded area. Once dry, store your garment in a cool, dry place, either hung or folded. For cotton T-shirts, we recommend folding to best maintain shape; over time, hanging such garments may cause stretching at the shoulders and neck.

Do not tumble dry. Exposing garments to lengthy periods of heat at high temperatures damages fibres and shrinks garments. Always refer to your garment’s label for precise care instructions.

Viscose

Viscose (rayon) is a semi-synthetic fabric derived from natural sources. Viscose is a delicate fabric that requires special care to ensure its longevity.

We recommend professional dry-cleaning for viscose items – particularly if the garment is stained.  Please do not wash your viscose garment, even in cold water; it will shrink.

Once cleaned, you may find your garments appear a touch smaller. This can be easily remedied with a warm steam iron. The heat of the iron will relax the knitted fibres and the weave. When pressing, use your hands to gently ease the garment back to its original shape. Ensure not to over-press as excess heat and stretching may damage the garment.

Store your garment folded in a cool, dry place. We recommend folding to ensure the garment’s shape is maintained over time. Hanging such garments may cause the garment to lose its original shape.

Do not tumble dry. Exposing garments to heat damages fibres and shrinks garments. Always refer to your garment’s label for precise care instructions.
