Care Guide

Hand wash in cold water and hang dry. Use a steam iron at maximum 90 degrees. Do not bleach or tumble dry.

If you prefer machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water (maximum 30 degrees). To protect the fabric, place the garment in a dense laundry bag—especially if washing with other items. This helps prevent damage when delicates aren't separated.

Washing synthetic fibers can release microplastics into the water system, particularly during the first few washes. Using a microfiber-catching laundry bag helps collect these particles so they can be disposed of responsibly. You may also consider using a laundry ball or installing a washing machine filter.

Keep away from velcro, zippers and rough surfaces.


Made-to-order

tela araneae operates as a one person company offering garments by made-to-order. Estimated production is up to 2 weeks. If you are purchasing a custom iteration option, you can discuss the production schedule during the session with the designer.


Material & Approach

tela araneae’s translucent designs are crafted using synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester. These are often sourced in small quantities from retail shops, where it’s not possible to trace the full supply chain. Occasionally, materials come from Italian deadstock warehouses.

Each fabric is tested in-house to ensure quality before being used. While tela araneae acknowledges the environmental implications of synthetic materials, the effort put in choosing to work with the highest-quality options available. This often means limited colors, small quantities, and minimal or no stock.

The design and tailoring process is developed to generate as little waste as possible. Most garments are constructed from straight-cut strips of fabric, minimizing leftovers. Working on a made-to-order basis further reduces unnecessary production—every piece made has a purpose and a person. One-of-a-kind items are also created using offcuts and remnants from past orders or small fabric finds, sometimes just 2 to 4 meters in length.
