How do I care for the garments properly?
The Braillæy collection from LÆY is made exclusively from the highest quality materials. We therefore recommend that you store your garments in a cotton garment bag (never in a plastic bag) in a dry and cool place so that you can enjoy them for a long time. If they come into contact with rain or snow, hang them up to dry and clean them gently with a soft cloth to remove any stains.
Our fabrics are made from long-staple organic cotton fibres, which ensure a particularly soft, durable and lint-resistant surface. This means that even after many washes - provided you strictly follow the instructions below - your clothes will remain in good condition and will not warp or discolour, as is the case with many T-shirts.
Basically hand wash, alternatively from left to right at 30 - max. 40° gentle programme:
With every wash cycle, your garments rub against each other and therefore always lose some colour and material. You should therefore always wash your laundry inside out. The high-quality organic cotton garments from LÆY should always be washed by hand. However, it can also be washed at 30 - max. 40°. Use a gentle and short wash programme to protect the fibres. Spin the clothes at low speed, with 1000-1200 revolutions, to minimise creasing.
Do not use a tumble dryer:
It's best to dry your laundry outside on a clothesline or drying rack instead of using a tumble dryer. This way, the laundry can dry in the fresh air without shrinking and there are no additional costs. This works particularly well in summer.
In winter, it is also possible to dry laundry outside in sub-zero temperatures. This is done by freeze-drying, where the extremely dry air outside can absorb the moisture from the laundry.
Iron carefully:
If you want to iron your shirts, make sure you do so at a low temperature. To protect the press studs, place a thin cloth over the affected areas or iron from the inside. This will prevent the design and press studs from being damaged by the direct heat of the iron.
How can I report counterfeits and what is LÆY doing to combat counterfeiting?
At LÆY, every collection stands for originality and uncompromising quality, from design to meticulous manufacturing. Our exclusive pieces are therefore only available through our official website to guarantee authenticity and preserve the unique values that go into every detail.
Protecting intellectual property and safeguarding our unique design is essential to us - for the creativity behind it and the craftsmanship that makes it possible. If you have any information about possible counterfeits of our products, please contact our customer service; we take the protection of our originality seriously and act with determination.
The fact that our designs leave their mark on the fashion world does not go unnoticed - it seems our competitors are busy taking notes. But originality cannot be copied.
How do I know that my LÆY product is genuine?
The authenticity of a LÆY piece is guaranteed if you purchase it exclusively through our official website. Only then will you receive an authentic piece that reflects our values of depth, quality and uniqueness.
Where can I buy LÆY products?
LÆY products are available exclusively through our official website. This ensures that every piece is authentic and meets our high standards of quality and design.
Can I apply for a tax refund (tax free) for my online purchase?
We cannot offer VAT refunds for online orders or orders by telephone. This also applies to Click & Collect orders.
