How do you store your LOGO tops?

How do you store your LOGO tops? Is it safe to hang them in your closet or will that cause them to stretch out? Am I better off folding them? What do you do?

Thank you susan_ca. So, you've never had any issues (stretching out) due to hanging them? And why the exception as to folding this one? (Just curious). I'm new to the LOGO line & I want to make sure I care for them properly. Thanks!

I have no issues at all hanging them. The reason I fold that cashmere/cotton piece is because it's LOOOONNNGGGG. I had my closet custom-built to the exact specification, and this piece is too long. I do have dresses section of the closet, but this is not a dress.... plus, I don't wear it all that often. )

ETA:

I wash them in the machine COLD or WARM, but dry on a chair or on something ..... not in the dryer.

Days,

On Lori Goldstein's website, she was asked the same question. With regard to tops/sweaters with rayon/span (stretchy fabric), she mentioned hanging those types would be prudent to "hang," but did not give a definitive answer.

I fold with tissue & place in drawer my "heavier" pieces (i.e., cardigans), but LOGO's tees, and her cotton/modal ~~ I do not. Some ladies "hang to dry" ~~ for me, I think this would cause rayon/span to stretch slightly over time. Laying flat is how I dry mine (on a mesh-type drying rack for sweaters). Mine look brand new!

I'm not very nice with my LOGO tops and sweaters!

I wash in warm, dry completely on medium-high heat and hang every last one of them on a huggable hanger.

So far so good. Some of my 3 year old pieces don't look any different than the newer ones.

Maybe they like the abuse!

I don't have any of the sweaters, just the tops and leggings.

Someone (sorry, I forget who, but thank you to whomever you are!) on a prior thread recommended hanging the tops inside out, which works brilliantly. I use the JM Huggagle hangers.

Care:

I wash in cold, use a non detergent laundry soda (Nellie's) on the gentle cycle and only use the dryer on low for a few minutes then hang (inside out) to finish drying.

Thanks for the question, and perfect timing, too! I was just coming to post this exact question as I now have a couple LOGO items that I want to last....

I hang them. I'm not too concerned about them stretching.

I hang them. I've tried folding them, but they get wrinkled. I find that hanging them works well. I don't have a problem with them stretching out.

I hang them. They wrinkle too much when folded.

I hang them but I use the velvet hangers so they do not slide.

I shouldn't think it would matter as they like stretched out bags anyway. Not my style at all!

The tops wrinkle if you fold them. I hang mine, but just today I noticed that the tanks might be stretching a bit so I folded them over the huggable. Alternatively, you can fold them long term, then take them out a month before wear... maybe like a seasonal thing. Have fun!
