Care of your pajamas

Things done well last. With a little care, they last even longer.

Every Vicky Bargalló pajama is crafted in Barcelona using natural fabrics: cotton and linen. These are noble fibers that improve with use, provided they are washed and stored as they deserve. Here is everything you need to know.

Care labels symbols

On the inner label of each garment, you will find the washing, drying, and ironing symbols. They are as follows:

Washing

• Cold or at a maximum of 30°C. This is the temperature that preserves the fiber, color, and size.
• Inside out and by color. This protects the fabric and embroidery from friction and prevents color transfer. Empty the pockets.
• Never use bleach. Not for light or dark colors: it destroys the natural fiber.
• Mild detergent. Preferably without optical brighteners. Fabric softener is optional; for linen, it is better without it so it retains its body.
• Medium load. Neither an empty nor overloaded drum: the garment needs space to wash properly.

Drying

• Remove the garment as soon as the cycle ends. This prevents deep wrinkles and a musty smell.
• Air dry in the shade. Direct sunlight fades and dries out the fiber. Smooth out the seams with your hands before hanging.
• Linen: hang it fully extended and without clothespins in visible areas; linen marks easily.
• Tumble dryer: We do not recommend the use of a dryer.

Ironing

• Cotton: hot iron, up to 150°C, with some steam so that wrinkles yield effortlessly.
• Linen: it is best ironed while slightly damp and with steam. And it doesn't need to be perfect: the natural wrinkle is part of its character.
• With embroidery: always iron inside out so as not to flatten or make the thread shiny.

Personalized embroidery

If your pajama has a name or initials embroidered, take care of it just like the rest of the garment: wash inside out, no bleach, and iron from the reverse side. With that, the embroidery will last as long as the pajama. Don't have yours yet? Discover our personalization service.

Storage

• Store the garment clean and completely dry, folded, in a ventilated place.
• Avoid closed plastic bags for months: natural fabric needs to breathe.
• When changing seasons, washing before storing prevents small invisible stains from yellowing over time.

A pajama that is well-cared for becomes your lifelong favorite.
