• Care & Alterations

  We wish for you to treasure your Temperley London pieces for life.
  To keep them looking their very best please follow our cleaning guide and care tips.

  General Care

  Ensure you read the care label and cleaning instructions before attempting to clean.

  By following the instructions on the care label you will keep your clothes looking their very best for longer.

  Always iron on the reverse in accordance with the care label.

  Alterations

  Temperley London online boutique does not provide an alterations service and this also applies to Temperley Bridal styles. We recommend you take your pieces to reputable local tailor. Please contact our Customer Care Team should you require advice regarding alteration in your area.

  Evening & Embellished

  Your evening and embroidered pieces will be delivered with a protective organza cover. To protect your exclusive Temperley London embroidery we recommend you continue to hang your garment within the protective organza.

  Leather

  Treat leather, suede or sheepskin with a reputable leather and suede protector. You may find it preferable to invest in a suede brush and give your suede a brush from time to time. This will keep the nap looking fresh.

  Dry Cleaning

  We recommend you take your pieces to reputable specialist dry cleaners that will tend to the garments with our recommended methods.

  Hand Wash

  Please refer to the care label for specific hand wash instructions for your garments.

  Make sure you use the correct water temperature and if unsure use a cooler temperature. Do not soak for prolonged periods and rinse until the water runs clear.

  Knitwear

  To keep your Temperley London knits and jersey in good shape we recommend you fold to store.

  Each Temperley Bridal dress is handcrafted individually and uses delicate fabric, embroideries and lace to convey the same timeless, feminine and ethereal nature that is the Temperley handwriting.

  Your dress will arrive protected in an organza cover and garment bag to ensure the dress remains in impeccable condition.

  If you wish to clean your dress after your special day we recommend you take your dress to a reputable specialist drycleaners experienced in cleaning of delicate pieces.
