How to Care for Your Coat: Storage, Cleaning, and Fabric Tips
Luxury outerwear is an investment—one that should last for years, not just a season. Whether you own a timeless wool coat, a statement suede jacket, or a rich fox fur or shearling piece, proper care is essential to preserve both beauty and structure.
At MULVANNI, our coats are crafted from premium materials built to last. To ensure your outerwear remains as elegant as the day you bought it, here’s how to care for your coat throughout the year.
Wool and Cashmere Coats: Classic Warmth, Timeless Care
Keyword: how to care for wool coat
Wool coats are staples in every winter wardrobe. They’re durable, warm, and elegant—but they do require proper maintenance.
Cleaning Tips:
-
Spot clean minor stains with a cloth dampened with cold water and a touch of wool detergent.
-
Dry clean only when necessary (usually once per season). Over-cleaning can weaken fibers.
-
Always read the care label before attempting any home cleaning.
Storage Tips:
-
Hang on a wide, structured hanger to maintain the coat’s shape.
-
Use a breathable garment bag, never plastic.
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity.
MULVANNI Tip: Brush your wool coat with a lint or cashmere brush to remove surface dust between wears.
Suede Jackets: Texture and Edge, Carefully Maintained

Suede is luxurious, soft, and stylish—but also delicate. Avoid water, oils, and over-handling to keep it looking its best.
Cleaning Tips:
-
Do not wash in water. For surface marks, gently rub with a suede eraser or clean dry brush.
-
For oil-based stains, use a suede-specific cleaner or take it to a professional cleaner who specializes in suede.
-
Avoid direct contact with rain. If it gets wet, blot with a paper towel and let it dry naturally.
Storage Tips:
-
Store in a cool, ventilated space, never in plastic.
-
Hang on a padded hanger to preserve the shoulder line.
-
Use cedar or lavender sachets to prevent odor or moth damage.
MULVANNI Tip: Treat your suede jacket with a suede protector spray at the beginning of each season.
Shearling Coats: Luxurious Warmth That Lasts
Shearling is both functional and luxurious. With natural insulating properties, it keeps you warm without bulk—but requires gentle care.
Cleaning Tips:
-
Avoid machine washing.
-
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if absolutely necessary.
-
For a full clean, take your shearling coat to a specialized leather or fur cleaner.
Storage Tips:
-
Hang on a sturdy wooden hanger to avoid distortion.
-
Store in a cloth garment bag, not synthetic or airtight materials.
-
Keep away from heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight.
Faux Fur and Real Fur: High-Impact Coats, Gentle Handling
Fox fur and faux fur both add drama to any look but require particular care routines.
Cleaning Tips:
-
Shake gently to remove dust and revive volume.
-
Use a wide-tooth comb or pet brush to detangle faux fur.
-
Real fur must be cleaned only by professional furriers.
Storage Tips:
-
Never store fur in plastic. Use a breathable garment bag.
-
Store in a cool, dark place—real fur prefers a slightly humid environment to prevent drying.
-
Avoid perfume, hairspray, and makeup near the collar area.
MULVANNI Tip: For real fur, consider off-season storage with a professional furrier for ideal climate control.
Leather Coats and Jackets: Modern and Durable
Leather jackets are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional care to prevent drying or cracking.
Cleaning Tips:
-
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaps unless specifically made for leather.
-
Condition the leather every few months with a leather balm or cream.
-
Never soak or submerge in water.
Storage Tips:
-
Hang on a sturdy hanger to avoid creases.
-
Store in a dark, dry closet. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
General Coat Care Tips to Extend Longevity
-
Rotate your coats: Avoid wearing the same one daily to let fibers breathe and rest.
-
Remove items from pockets before storing to prevent stretching.
-
Always air out your coat after wearing, especially if exposed to food smells or smoke.
-
Close all buttons/zippers when storing to retain structure.
