On a sun-streaked evening in June 1997, Duca Simone Vincenzo Velluti Zati di San Clemente invited local residents to Il Palagio, his unlived-in ancestral palace in Tuscany. A verdant 865-acre (350 ha) estate some 25 miles (40 km) south of Florence, Il Palagio dates back to the early 1500s, growing from an agricultural holding through successive ownerships until becoming home to the dukedom of San Clemente in 1819, whose family seat it remained.

At the height of summer there’s no greater pleasure than packing a basket full of gourmet treats, finding a secluded spot, and enjoying a picnic with friends and family.

Chef Carme Ruscalleda first fell in love with food when she started working in her father’s deli, aged 17. She has since gone on to open three restaurants and earn herself an impressive number of accolades along the way.

Rarest of all are three-star restaurants, which the Michelin Guide characterizes as “Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey!” While they are typically associated with rarefied addresses in Paris, New York or Hong Kong, some three-star restaurants are scattered across the French countryside, such as celebrated Georges Blanc Read more...

Getting through the Gates Your passport is quite possibly the most important piece of travel accessories needed for both cruises and out of country excursions, so why not protect it with a luxurious exterior. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and more have all the perfect covers for your passport and any other documents that will kickstart your getaway. Keep this one nearby and ready, you don't want to forget it at home.
Keep it All in one Place The next step in a successful vacation is the type of luggage you're taking. Rolling luggages are great, but duffles are just as nice to travel with especially the iconic Louis Vuitton Keepall. Coming in a variety of sizes, these bags are easily slipped into a car or used as a carry-on on a plane.
Now it's time to pack! Here are some things you should make sure are packed away for your getaway.
Sand & Surf Musts Headed to the water? From poolside to surfside, keeping your essentials safe and secure is a must. Beach inspired totes or even a Neverfull are ideal for carrying everything from sunscreen to towels. Try adding an extra layer of security with a Toiletry pouch that will keep your liquids from spilling over.
Logo Footwear Trending from every angle, a logo on your shoes is a must. Check out some Gucci Marmont sandals , Hermes Oran Sandals, or even Balenciaga pool slides for versatile wear while you walk the streets of a local market or leave the sand.
Sun Protection Not everyone chooses to protect their eyes and head from the sun, but it's definitely important that you do. Try out a pair of sunglasses or even a hat to keep the harmful rays of the sun away and don't forget to reapply sunscreen!
Day to Night Carry The final thing on our essentials list is your holy grail for the trip. Whether you take one, two, or more, make sure that you take purses that will not only carry everything you need, but also ones that are stylish and can be used daily. A classic black bag is perfect for pairing with any and every outfit, while a bold and colorful purse will turn heads from every angle.
Make a list, check off these essentials, and don't forget to pack extra clothes before you leave!

Most Expensive 2020's most expensive bag was the Louis Vuitton Crocodile Capucines BB bag, but in 2021 an ever classic Hermes Birkin 30 arrived to take the coveted spot. In a vibrant orange that is the signature color of the brand handcrafted and hand-stitched to perfection, this bag is one of the hardest pieces to get in the industry at the moment due to limited availability. Hermes Birkin 30s retail can start at $12,400 and increase based on material or special requests.
Most Unique Sometimes fashionistas look for something so out of this world and eye-catching, you can't help but love it. According to our staff, one of the most unique bags to enter our store is a fur Fendi Baguette bag. A mix of satin and petals crafted from rabbit fur in various shades of purple and pink is definitely one to remember.

Laying Foundations Journeying back to 1881, Guccio Gucci was born in Florence, Italy. His father was a leather craftsman, but he chose not to follow in his footsteps and decided to travel. During his life, Gucci ultimately ended up working as an attendant at The Savoy in London and finding inspiration from all of the luggages from travelers which kickstarted his future. It wasn't until 1921 when Gucci returned to Florence that he created his Maison. From there he continued to create luggage pieces before he branched into wallets and equestrian products. In the late 1920's, he created the first version of the infamous GG we all know before his sons reinvented it again.
Frida Giannini's take over as Creative Director started with her time as Design Director at Gucci. She sought to change Ford's designs and to focus on Gucci's heritage within her style, bringing back tokens of the past which continued into her tenure there. Celebrities & Breaking Barriers Gucci has a longstanding relationship with celebrities and their inspiration on their products. Memorable figures such as Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Princess Diana, and Jackie Kennedy are just to name a few while we also saw collaborations with the rapper Dapper Dan and graffiti artist, Trevor Andrews. Their influence on designs continue even as the years pass by. To this day, Gucci has actually become a token favorite of the younger generations due to Alessandro Michele's takeover in 2015 as creative director. With a large resurgence in the pop world with celebrities such as Harry Styles and K-Pop idols to collaborations with Disney, Doraemon, North Face, and Balenciaga, Gucci has seen a large jump in sales over the past years. This incorporation of pop stars, pop culture, and embracing emerging ideals into their advertising, designs, and ambassadorships has set Gucci into a new direction.
Quick Guide to Gucci Handbag Styles With Michele at the helm we have seen many changes these past few years. The company has made more sustainability efforts, changed their fashion show structure, and embraced the differences in people and fashion. With a longstanding history, there is plenty to look forward to in Gucci's future.

Chanel Flap Bags are Worth the Investment The Chanel flap bag not only holds its value over time, but its prices have steadily increased over the years, making it a worthwhile investment. Their iconic style, high-quality materials, classic design, and sought-after name make Chanel flap bags easy to resell should you wish to do so in the future. As of September 2021, Chanel has implemented a numerous number of increases on their handbags with an expected future of more increases. Below we included a chart with the current prices as they stand compared to early 2021.

Types of Chanel Flap Bags Chanel’s flap bags are one of the must-have for the handbag connoisseur. You can find Chanel flap bags in different materials, sizes, colors, styles, and designs; however, the structural design is virtually the same. The earned its name due to its iconic flap and closures. The company designed the Single flap version to have just one exterior flap closure while the Double flap features an exterior and interior flap. Chanel has a multitude of flap bag designs such as the Boy bag, however there are two styles of Chanel flap bags: The 2.55 and the Classic Flap. The term 2.55 is used in reference to flap bags that reflect the original flap bag design created in February of 1955.

Not to be confused with the Reissue flap bag introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in 2005, the 2.55 bag is the original design of Chanel’s bags, debuting for the first time a shoulder carried bag acceptable for women. These bags are typically lined with burgundy interior leather, which symbolizes the uniforms from the convent orphanage where Coco Chanel grew up. It features the “Mademoiselle” turn-lock clasp, interior zipper compartment, double flap, and the classic chain strap. Jumping forward to the 1980s, Karl Lagerfeld is the one who introduced the coveted Classic Flap bag. Featuring similar features to the 2.55 bag, the Classic Flap is distinguished instead by the CC turn-lock closure, curved flap, and leather-woven chain.
Materials As with any product, the higher their demand, the more they cost. However, demand isn’t the only factor that impacts the cost of the Chanel flap bag. Because of their versatility, the price of one of these purses varies according to a few different factors such as: material, size, hardware, and where you buy it. The flap bag can be found in a wide range of materials, such as: Lambskin Leather Calfskin Leather Goatskin Leather Caviar Leather Tweed Jersey Fabric Exotics (python, alligator, crocodile, etc..) And more… These materials can be designed with different colors and patterns. Materials that are in high demand, or are known for their durability and longevity, such as calfskin or caviar leather, typically make the bag more expensive. Some have rhinestones, crystals, pearls, and other decorative embellishments, which can contribute to increased cost. Many of the flap bags are designed with the classic quilted look, while others feature unique designs. Along with the material of the bag itself, its hardware can influence the cost. The hardware is typically gold, light gold, silver or black and can be created with antiqued, matte, or iridescent finishes. The classic bag also features leather-woven chain straps. Along with the bag’s structure, design, and size, where you purchase your Chanel flap bag can impact its cost. You can find authentic, lightly used flap bags at a lower price compared to purchasing them brand new.
How to Find an Authentic Chanel Flap Bag Since they can be quite the investment, it’s important to purchase one from a seller you can trust — especially if you are planning on purchasing a used luxury bag. In order to limit the production and sale of counterfeits, Chanel manufactures handbags and accessories with serial numbers.

Cleaning Your Designer Purse, Step by Step

Designer Purse Interior Cleaning Remove all of your belongings from your purse. Flip the bag upside down and shake it to get rid of any loose debris. Turn the liner inside out and use a lint roller to remove any other dirt or dust. Go over the liner using a vacuum with the brush attachment to remove any debris you may have missed. *If your bag’s interior doesn’t have a liner, is unable to be turned inside out or is made of leather, instead of inverting your bag, we recommend using a lint roller, tweezers and the vacuum with the brush attachment to clean the inner corners.*
Fabric Canvas, tweed, jersey and satin can typically be cleaned using a lint roller. Use tweezers to gently remove any dirt, dust and debris that are stuck to the fabric. If you see blemishes that need extra attention, lightly spray a baby wipe with OxiClean, and use it to lift the stain.
*NOTE: We do not recommend using Oxiclean on satin, silk, or jersey that are not black because it may leave a cleaner stain.*
Fur or Suede To clean bags made of fur or suede, we recommend using a specialty brush to remove dirt, dust and debris from its exterior. If there are any stains, gently buff them out with the brush. For fur bags, brush the fur in the same direction that the hair goes. For suede material, gently brush the suede in one direction. Once you’ve cleaned it, use a suede conditioner to revitalize the material.
Hardware Polish hardware using a baby wipe, and then dry it with a soft cloth. Occasionally, your bag’s hardware can cause discoloration on the surrounding material. Luckily, this can be removed by gently buffing it with a magic eraser.
How Often Should You Clean Your Designer Purse? How frequently you clean your designer purse will depend on how often you use it. If you use your bag daily, we recommend cleaning it every week. If you use it occasionally, two to four cleanings per year is recommended. In addition, your bag’s handles and its base and corners get the most wear and, therefore, require more attention. We recommend cleaning these areas of your purse after every use to ensure they don’t deteriorate more than the rest of the bag. It’s important to keep in mind that the way you clean your designer purse may vary according to the designer. Some designers use highly specialized processes, and their bags require specialized care and cleaning to ensure they don’t get damaged. Please refer to our other blogs How to Safely Clean Louis Vuitton Bags and How You Can Properly Clean Your Chanel Bags for more information about cleaning your Louis Vuitton and Chanel purses. Conduct research to find out what the recommended cleaning methods and materials are for your specific bag. If you’re having trouble getting stains out of your bag, or aren’t sure how to do so safely, bring your bag to a professional cleaning service. Looking for Authentic Designer Handbags? At Couture USA, we’re proud to buy and sell 100% authentic luxury brands, 100% of the time. Our team examines every detail of the items we purchase using our thorough inspection process to guarantee their quality and authenticity. Shop our selection of luxury handbags today!

Labels & Serial Number Location Inside of every Gucci bag is typically a leather label that includes the logo and made in. Once you flip it over, you will find the serial number. Depending on the year the bag was produced, serial numbers will vary in format but not location. The serial numbers will typically always be behind the leather tab, however, wallets and small leather goods typically feature the numbers embossed somewhere near the card slots.
Serial Number Font & Format
Just like other brands, Gucci's serial numbers went through a progression of changes throughout the years until it settled into the format we know of today. Serial numbers will generally consist between 9 to 13 digits. Sometimes be separated by dots or dashes, especially vintage pieces. The font is typically a serif type.
Important things to note about serial numbers: The first line is the model number. Model numbers can change as the items are changed over the years. The second line is the supplier/batch number and can be the same as other Gucci pieces. You can use the model number to find an item on a search engine. The embossing/heat stamp varies and can sometimes look messy despite the item being authentic.
Variations through the Years

Who is David Yurman?A muse allows you to listen to your dreams…Sybil is my muse, always.” - David Yurman https://t.co/rXjY4sX1MK pic.twitter.com/2Zp2SRSDFC
— David Yurman (@DavidYurman) January 25, 2016 Born on October 12th, 1942 in Manhattan, New York, David Yurman grew up loving the arts. He created and sold sculptures to his classmates. When he was in his teens, his sister introduced him to Cuban sculptor, Ernesto Gonzalez, and learned to weld. Spending a short time in university, Yurman quickly quit and moved across the country to California to live in an art colony, but by the late 1960s he found his way back to the Big Apple. With experience working for multiple famous sculptors: Jacques Lipshitz, Theodore Rozak, and Hans Van de Bovenkamp, he developed and harnessed his craft. David Yurman’s wife, Sybil Kleinrock, was born in the Bronx on December 10th, 1942. She lived a parallel life to Yurman while showing off her passion for painting. Sybil experienced the zeitgeist of the 50’s and 60’s in NYC while taking in the counterculture as inspiration. In the 1960’s, she moved to California to live in an art colony before moving back to New York towards the end of the decade where she met Yurman and eventually collaborating with him to create the company we know of today. Living Parallel Both artists in their own respects, Sybil was a painter and David was a sculptor. Coincidentally, the two worked in the same coffee shop, moved to California to study art, and returned to New York City where they finally met. David was working at a studio under the sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp when Sybil walked in for a job. Part of her position required her to work under David and from there, their story began, and their future artistic collaboration would come fruition with a mix of two different artistic approaches.

When Chanel began using serial stickers, they began issuing authenticity cards, featuring corresponding serial numbers. These cards have had slight changes throughout the years but have always been a black plastic card with white text and gold borders. Below we have provided an examples of a serial number sticker with its corresponding authenticity card.
Although Chanel bags made between 1986 and present day are manufactured with serial number stickers and authenticity cards, stickers can be damaged or removed and cards can be misplaced. If a Chanel handbag is missing these features, it does not always denote the piece as a counterfeit. The First Serial Numbers The earliest of serial numbers were printed on white stickers featuring subtle interlocking "CC" logos. Each of these serial numbers feature 7 digits printed on a cutout positioned the left side of the white sticker, while an opaque film encompasses the sticker. An example from a vintage bag, produced in the late 1980's or early 1990's, is pictured below. The serial number is printed on the cutout portion of the sticker and is a 1 series, indicating that the handbag was made in between 1989 and 1991.

The early 5 series sticker indicates this bag was manufactured between 1997-1999. Evolution of Serial Numbers – Late 5 series to Early 2021 Starting near the end of 5 series pieces, Chanel has continued their anti-counterfeiting efforts by adding additional features to their serial number stickers. The numbers are still printed onto a white sticker, but the sticker is now completely covered with a clear tape featuring gold and blue glitter throughout. These serial numbers are printed on two-layered holographic stickers. The bottom layer is printed with the serial number and incised with an X, making it impossible to remove without destroying the sticker. They feature a gray line running vertically down the left margin and a line of repeating “CHANEL” with a very small “CC” logo running vertically down the right margin. Below we have included examples of bags ranging from 6 series to 26 series.

The 6 series sticker above indicates the bag was manufactured between 2000-2002.


The 9 series sticker above indicates the bag was manufactured between 2004-2005, while the 14 series bag was manufactured in 2011.

The 26 series sticker above indicates the bag was manufactured in 2019. Additional information to consider about Chanel serial numbers include: The stickers are typically affixed to items in two different ways: Attached directly to the interior lining most items with a leather interior lining will have the sticker attached directly to the lining. Stickers that are attached directly to the lining can be placed with the numbers facing right-side up or upside-down. attached to a leather tab inside of the item Serial Numbers Chart Below, we have provided a chart with the Chanel serial number format and their corresponding years of production. If you are curious about the production year of your Chanel piece, use the following chart to help you discover the year. NOTE: Serial numbers from 0 series to 9 series included 7 digits, whereas serial numbers 10 series to present day include 8 digits.

Multicolor This goes without saying, but a multicolor bag can pair off with practically anything, especially if the shades are the same as the ones in the outfit. Try sticking to a solid color that matches at least one on the bag while also adding a little bit of fun to your outfit. Alina added a fun pop to an all white outfit with the multicolor print on this Gucci bucket bag.A post shared by Couture USA (@coutureusa)
Charcoal/Light Gray Neutrality at best, charcoal gray and light gray land on different ends of the spectrum but are both equally as easy to match. Charcoal is closest to black without being too dark, making it much more neutral than a black bag. Light gray however can match with any outfit easily, especially when paired with silver-tone jewelry.

Early 1980s and Before: No Date Codes Louis Vuitton did not use date codes before 1982, therefore older vintage pieces can not be pinpointed as accurately as newer ones.1982 to Mid 1980s Date Codes: Three or Four Digits
Mid to Late 1980s Date Codes: Three or Four Digits with Two Letters
Early 1990 to 2006 Date Codes: Two Letters with Four Digits
2007 to Early 2021: Two Letters with Four Digits (Number System was Revised)
An exception for this rule is sunglasses. Sunglasses can have date codes with one letter and four digits, slightly different than any other date code format. * The “AH2105” date code above indicates the bag was made during the 20th week of 2015 in France. The 20th week was in May that year.
Present Day: The RFID Microchip After March 1st, 2021, Louis Vuitton began replacing date codes with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchips to their items, and as of March 31st, all items will no longer include a date code. With this removal of date codes and the implementation of these microchips, only Louis Vuitton stores will be able to scan the chips to receive the manufacturing information including name, date, materials, and more about the item. The only identifier these items will continue to include is the made in stamping, unless it is made in the USA.
Louis Vuitton Date Code Factory Chart Below, we included an easy-to-read chart with Louis Vuitton factory codes. *If an item has been re-lined, Louis Vuitton issues a new date code with the factory location code of “DK”. Keep in mind, the re-lined date code factory location may conflict with the “made in” stamping on the outside of the bag (if applicable). For example, if a bag has been re-lined, the interior may say “Made in France,” but the exterior stamping may still say “Made in USA”, matching the country of its original origin.

What sparked your interest in photography? I never had plans on becoming a photographer. One day, I picked up my mom's camera that was collecting dust in a corner and I started taking pictures of my friends for fun. My past experience with cameras in high school and college gave me an advantage with the technical aspects, and my passion for fashion and America's Next Top Model growing up gave me an advantage with my eye and perspective. After hearing the positive response from others, I decided to pursue a career.
Follow Couture USA on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
What are some accomplishments would you say furthered your career path? I have always been heavily immersed in the arts whether that was interning in London at the Greenwich and Lewisham Young People's theatre or interning as a post-production assistant at 4th Row Films in Manhattan, New York. Some of my work has been noticed and spoken about in articles varying from Media News Company's Voyage LA, Voyage Miami, and Shoutout Miami. My photos have also been featured on Vogue Italias "PhotoVogue" 9 times, and have been internationally published in over 10 magazines, two of which photos were featured on the covers.
What are some of your favorite things/places to shoot in and out of work? Fashion will always be my favorite thing to shoot whether that is editorial, high fashion, or a whimsical moment.
What designer/magazine do you wish you can shoot photos for? I would love to photograph for major fashion magazines such as Vogue or Vanity Fair, but I am also interested in shooting for other magazines that are not so immersed in the fashion industry, such as National Geographic or TIME.
What interested you in becoming a part of the Couture USA team? I love the fashion industry and strive to be a photographer in it. Working at Couture, I am exposed to luxury products and brands every day. I am allowed to be creative and I am doing what I love.
Who is your favorite designer? I like a lot of designers. Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga are definitely at the top. Nicolas Ghesquière, who is the creative director of Louis Vuitton and previously for Balenciaga, is my ultimate favorite designer.
How would you describe your creative process for creating content for the website and our social media accounts? I make sure I have a variety of content for our marketing, social media, sales, events, and for the copywriter to include in blogs and emails. It's equally important to show people modeling with the product, and also just the products themselves.

Scroll down to shop Vasili's Favorites!
Describe a typical day for you at Couture USA? I begin my day by shooting new products for the Couture website. After shooting, I import the photos to my computer to edit, color correct, etc. Finally, I send the photos off to the Online Manager so they can be published to our New Arrivals page. Throughout the week I will go outside and take lifestyle pictures of the girls with product closeups, or I might make product arrangements all for our social media or sale purposes.What advice would you give to anyone interested in pursuing a career in photography? Practice makes perfect, have patience and be willing to learn something new at all times.

Across the globe, it is estimated that people own about 148 wardrobe pieces. The number is slightly higher in the United States, placing at about 165 pieces each.
Accessories are a fundamental part of our wardrobes for many reasons. And each of us has our top wardrobe accessories that speak to our preferences. So naturally, with the new year approaching, you're likely looking for a few upgrades to refresh your closet.
2022 was an interesting year for fashion, with men sporting velvet suits, puffed sleeves, and bright color schemes. And the new year will bring with it a host of notable trends. So keep reading as we unveil the top 2023 accessories for your wardrobe.
1) LoafersLoafers have been in for decades ever since their London unveiling. The moccasin-style shoes were initially designed as casual wear for everyday activities. Then the shoes made their way to America and became well-respected among the upper class.
Today's loafers are highly versatile accessory options, and you can wear them in various styles. For example, pair some penny loafers with a sharp suit, or wear them with jeans for a refined look.
2) CardigansCardigans are a fashion piece that has appeared in multiple eras, such as the 50s and 90s. The stylish button sweater dates back to 1854 when it was named after the Earl of Cardigan. Today, cardigans offer versatility and a sense of sophistication.
Cardigans are an essential piece for smart and business casual looks. You can wear this sweater with jeans or trousers to execute a charming, understated getup.
3) Wood Suit HangersThere's nothing quite like having luxury hangers for your wardrobe pieces. Sometimes the little things make all the difference, and wooden hangers are no exception. It's time to leave the cheap plastic behind and invest in quality for your wardrobe.
Butler Luxury wood suit hangers are the ideal accessory to hold your prized suits. They offer a sturdy, contoured design to support your tailor-made suit pieces with pride.
4) Panama HatsPanama hats are a new accessories trend that's emerging for the new year. While these hats bear the name of Panama, they're originally from Ecuador. Traditionally, the hats were used by workers during the construction of the Panama Canal, which is where the name actually comes from.
Panama hats are a great way to mix up your usual outfits. Wear them with a light button-down shirt to cool off, or pair one with your favorite suit coat.
5) Double Breasted Suit CoatsThe double-breasted suit coat is not an accessory to be overlooked this year. This classic style has been revamped to upgrade every modern man's wardrobe. This sharp coat is for sophisticated men who value fashion history and love looking their best.
Double-breasted suit coats are more adaptable than most think. You can pair them with denim and a t-shirt or dress them up with sleek, smart pants and a tie.
6) Tall SocksTall socks are replacing your short ankle socks this upcoming year. And in addition to being a stylish trend, they'll keep you warm in the coldest weather climates. You can wear tall socks for every style, from a casual getup to a business ensemble.
Wear tall socks with your favorite gym outfit for maximum comfort and appeal. Or, wear them with chinos and a crisp button-down shirt for your next date.
7) Men's Crossbody BagsCrossbody bags may seem like a daunting men's accessory, but plenty of new styles make them look sharp today. Many men have ignored crossbody bags over the years, but this style is currently popular and worth your attention.
When worn correctly, any man can make a crossbody look stylish. Wear them with a polo or t-shirt in the nice weather. For winter, pair the bag with your peacoat or blazer.
8) TurtlenecksTurtlenecks have had a stigma attached to them for not being "manly" enough. However, turtlenecks were a staple garment of working-class men in the late 19th century. Regardless of what society may believe, men's turtlenecks are once again in style.
There are plenty of ways to make your turtleneck look exceptional. For example, you can wear them with jeans and a peacoat. Alternatively, pair a turtleneck with a nice pair of trousers.
9) Velvet Tuxedo JacketsVelvet tuxedo jackets were one of the biggest trendy accessories for celebrities this year, and the movement continues. Velvet tuxedos have been popular for at least a couple of years. So, it is still a great time to join the movement and purchase a velvet tux for yourself.
Velvet suit jackets are perfect for special events like weddings and dinner parties. Pair the jacket with chinos and a tie, or wear a completed velvet tux.
10) A Luxury PenA pen may not seem like a statement piece, but it can be a great way to upgrade your wardrobe if you're always writing or signing paperwork.
If you're using an old plastic pen to do your business, it's time to get modern with a sleek new designer pen. There are a myriad of places to purchase a luxury pen. You can even take it a step further and buy your own case to keep on hand while you're at work.

Picture this: It's New Year's Eve and you are wearing your best suit to the party.
You look great and feel good, but your suit is definitely going to need a good wash when the night is over. Even if no one spills anything on you, elegant threads must be refreshed often.
Do you know how to dry clean a suit? If not, this is the guide for you! Keep reading to learn five essential steps.
5 Ways to Properly Dry Clean Your Favorite Suit

Knowing how to dry clean a suit after New Year's festivities can come in handy throughout life. You can start brushing for 30 seconds using a natural bristle brush.
This trick of the trade removes dirt before it has the chance to settle between the threads of the fabric.
Hang your jacket using suit hangers and slowly brush from top to bottom, or follow the fabric threads' direction. Lay your trousers out and do the same to them.
Do this every day after you wear your suit for the best results.

A brush is great for removing dirt follicles, but it won't have an effect on bacteria, spots, and viruses. Machine-washing your suit to get rid of these diseases isn't the best option. Instead, take your suit to a trusted dry cleaner.
Dry cleaning involves the use of corrosive chemicals so you shouldn't do this more than once every two months. Clean your suit jackets and trousers at the same time to prevent mismatched fading.
There are three washing methods you can utilize to wash your suit. Always check the suit's label for the washing instructions and water temperature recommendations.
While dry cleaning is the best option, hand washing and machine washing are two possible methods you can use.
When Hand Washing:When you absolutely can't go to a professional dry cleaner, you can hand wash your suit at home. Follow the instructions on your suit label and use natural products, like:
Vinegar Lemon Sodium bicarbonateIt's advisable not to do this regularly because these ingredients aren't suitable for all fabrics. In the long run, they might damage your suit.
When Machine Washing:Machine washing at home is probably the worst way to clean your suit after any occasion. Dry cleaning services are professionals that know exactly how to dry clean a suit without damaging it.
Even if you don't run the spin cycle on your washing machine, a machine wash can still alter the thread of the fabric, comprising the shape of your suit.
When Dry Cleaning:Dry cleaning is full-fledged cleaning. Instead of using washers, dry cleaners will take a chemical solvent to clean and sanitize the suit.
Remember that chemicals are used that might damage your suit in the long run if it is tailored. Dry cleaning is by far the best cleaning method but in moderation.
To keep your suit fresh for longer without taking it to the dry cleaners, don't wear it more often than twice a week. The fabric threads in a suit have to breathe.
Simply hanging your suit on suit hangers and leaving both sides with room to breathe is beneficial. Within 24 hours, your suit will look new and you can wear it again.

You likely won't be able to sanitize or sterilize your suit on your own. However, it's important for suit owners to understand each process.
Sanitizing involves getting rid of mild germs and bacteria. Sterilization gets rid of living organisms. Sterilization is only possible with the correct equipment and machinery.
If you need to sterilize your suit because you were around someone with a disease, contact professionals that can treat your garments with ultraviolet light.
There are tricks you can utilize to sanitize and eliminate viruses on your own, but it's best to leave this step to the professionals. This is something that dry cleaners will do for you.

Ironing a suit is very different from ironing other articles of clothing. A vertical steamer is the best way to iron the suit. Steam is also a great sterilizer at a certain temperature.
Any viruses or bacteria that survive high-temperature washings can be killed by steam. Buying a vertical steamer is a small investment that will guarantee the best ironing job and deodorization whenever you need it.
A traditional iron is a common option, but suits tend to be more sensitive than other garments. If you must use an iron, place a thin cloth between it and the fabric of your suit.
Doing this prevents the unrefined shiny look and protects your fabric from the high temperature of the iron.

Only a few suit owners think about hanging their suits as part of the cleaning process. However, as we've briefly mentioned before, hanging up your suit right can help it get its shape back.
Whenever you aren't wearing a suit, don't leave it crumpled up in a chair. Suit hangers exist for hanging suits up. Wooden hangers are the best options because they keep the shape of your suit, prevent moths, and soak up humidity.
When you're traveling, a garment bag is the best solution. You can even use a garment bag when you are home. Garment bags protect your clothing from mites, mold, moths, and dust.
How to Dry Clean a Suit: Explained
New Year's festivities are just around the corner. If you are wearing your best suit to celebrate, you'll definitely want to clean it the next day.
Learning how to dry clean a suit is fairly simple. The best thing you can do for your suit is take it to a professional dry cleaner, but you can keep it fresh by brushing, steaming, and hanging it up.
No matter how you choose to clean your suit, you will need suit hangers. Shop all hangers now from Butler Luxury to find the best one for your needs.
Charles Tyrwhitt (Tyrwhitt rhymes with “spirit,”) was created by a University of Bristol student who was frustrated with the state of dress in his school. From humble beginnings as a mail-order brand to a favorite of prime ministers and luxury car moguls, Charles Tyrwhitt is a high achiever in the luxury shirt world.
Yet, aside from all this clout, is this luxury British brand worth its popularity? We broke it down for you in terms of material and service.
About The Brand
The Gentleman’s Gazette covered the Charles Tyrwhitt brand with mostly positive reviews. The gazette noted the high quality of customer service with this brand making it an excellent choice for luxury shirts and accessories.
Materials
The brand’s garments are made with a variety of weave patterns, according to the company’s website. They are available in Poplin, an 100% Egyptian cotton woven in a criss-cross that is “excellent for warm days,” because of their lightweight make.
Linen, chambray (a mix of denim), Royal Oxford, and classic cotton Dobby feature among its lineup. They offer the robust textured Oxford, which is appropriate for casual wear, and the Pinpoint Oxford, appropriate for the office. The shirts also come in Twill, which is “easy to care for,” Corduroy, flannel, and heavy-weight flannel.
Charles Tyrwhitt boasts “high-tech” shirts that are styled through innovation to breathe, give maximum comfort, and provide a no-iron fit. Not so fast, the garments are sporting lasers or computer chips. They are innovated with new “state-of-the-art garment tech” that renders them high-tech.
Manufacturing
The Charles Tyrwhitt brand hails from the United Kingdom, but has factories across Eastern Asia. However, in January 2021, the company’s owner, Nick Wheeler, told The Mail on Sunday that the company would “scale back” production in China. The brand was responding to “wants of the customers” as some took objection to the company’s business dealing with PRC entities because of ethics concerns.
Due to the PRCs reported oppression of Uighur Turks in the Xinjiang province, the company also suspended contracts with cotton producers in Xinjiang. Mr. Wheeler also decided to scale back business in mainland China because of allegations of Chinese government forced labor in manufacturing.
While the company committed to reviewing its manufacturing standards, business ethics watchdogs ranked its employer equity poorly. The watchdogs stated that Charles Tyrwhitt should do more to ensure its employees make a living wage.
The Target Audience
The Charles Tyrwhitt shirt is men’s luxury wear that leans from dress attire to pajamas. The overall selection of Charles Tyrwhitt garments would be appropriate for cocktail party attire with a more traditional dress code.
Best Events To Wear Charles Tyrwhitt
When investing in luxury wear, many people consider the events they will be able to wear their garment to. Charles Tyrwhitt is a well-loved brand for semi-formal parties. The Charles Tyrwhitt brand site offers a “Party Flavor” page. This selection features products from the casual wear business attire end of party dress codes, all the way up to tuxedos.
The Charles Tyrwhitt Claim To Fame
Charles Tyrwhitt is most well known for its wide range of menswear shirts. The Gentleman’s Gazette explained that the Charles Tyrwhitt brand has a wider range of sizing fit options than average retailers. Fitting options include classic, slim, extra slim, and super slim fit.
The Charles Tyrwhitt shirt line also advertises as a “no-iron” fitting product.
Bang For Your Buck?
This shirt line sells at a moderate price. Even with the lower price range, reviewers say they love the product, maybe even as much or more than some of its higher-end upscale counterparts. For the price, reviewers say that the shirt is “well-crafted” and that its variety is a high selling point. The brass collar also stays in place, which was a well-respected brand fact.
How Customer Service Performed
Quality products aside, the high-end garment buying experience should be worthy of the investment. Customer service quality is highly relevant in the garment industry because returns and product exchanges can be based on sizing issues and other small flaws in a shipped-out product.
Charles Tyrwhitt reported an average 4.7 out of 5-star ranking for its customer service quality, from reviews left directly on their brand landing page. Customers who ordered by phone reported “professional and quality service.” Charles Tyrwhitt has also received high recommendations for speedy service.
The popular third-party review site TrustPilot ranked Charles Tyrwhitt customer services as 3.8 out of 5 stars. Positive reviews stated that Charles Tyrwhitt customer service satisfactorily resolved delivery issues. Negative reviews reported issues with the data submission form for orders.
The Butler's Overall Recommendation
Charles Tyrwhitt is affordable wear from a well-recognized British shirt maker. It isn’t at the apex end of the luxury shirt category, but it works well for business day-to-day wardrobe, and relaxed dress code parties. Overall, customer service is quick and sufficient when handling returns, with positive experiences ranking higher than negative experiences from a general review.
Preserving Your Luxury ShirtsInvesting in luxury wear is a critical part of your life. The quality of your clothing investments can impact many aspects of who you are as a person.
Scientific American wrote that wearing formal attire even increases abstract thinking, making us more creative and boosting chances of professional success. This was determined by small laboratory cognitive tests. The researchers asked test subjects to change into formal wear before performing the cognitive test. Those who changed into formal attire performed better in abstract and strategic tests, leading scientists to make a link between clothes and success.
In addition, this research found that informal wear can leave a negative impression when making business deals and other professional growth attempts.
This is why Butler Luxury prioritizes empowering each of our customers with top-performance luxury wear information and products. Because we believe it is critical to your overall well-being to make wise purchases in your luxury wear, we make adjacent luxury garment care purchases affordable and value-driven.

Are Indochino suits worth the hype? We put the company's luxury suits to the test, and here's what we found.

To be prepared for anything the professional world can throw at you, it pays to have a well-stocked closet.
Many of us have spent the last few years working remotely in sweatpants and t-shirts. But now that the office beckons, we must start dressing up again. Wearing a suit can make both men and women feel more confident and prepared for success.
Here are four types of suits every professional needs.
Suits Every Professional Man Should Own

Modern men need a slim-fitting suit that’s appropriate in many corporate settings, from client meetings to presentations. Choose a suit in a classic color, like navy blue, black, or grey, and a suit jacket with a notched lapel and two buttons for a truly versatile look. The suit measure should be slim – not form-fitting– to show off your shape, not squeeze you in.
What’s more, make sure you’re choosing a suit in a mid-weight fabric.

Though slim-fit and classic suits are similar, the latter on our list of suits every professional needs is not quite as trendy – men in the 1950s would have worn the same cut and style. Classic suits, which are a bit looser in the legs and torso, are a must for your collection.
Be sure you mix up the colors in your collection. A black suit is the most formal, while grey is more casual. Navy blue is the middle of the road – neither the most formal nor the most dressed down.

While the two suits listed above this list can be worn again and again without detection, you also want a suit that makes others stand up and take notice. That’s why you want to differentiate your collection of suits every professional needs with a striped or plaid suit.
A suit like this is ideal for special occasions, or when you need a bit of a pick-me-up since it varies from your standard routine.

A summer suit is more of a requirement than a suggestion. The high heat and humidity of the summer season make winter suit materials like wool feel like torture to wear. Instead, opt for light, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton in this smart casual suit.
Also, choose light colors like beige or tan so you can wear the suit from the office to your after-work summer activities.
Suits Every Professional Woman Should Own

If you’re only going to buy one suit, a classic, well-tailored suit in a neutral color like black, grey, or navy blue is the way to go. If you wear a suit like this one, your colleagues won’t be able to tell that you’re repeating your suit game more than one day of the week.
That’s because you can change up the look by wearing flats vs. heels, changing out your button-down for a turtle neck, or adding a colorful scarf or necklace to the outfit. Unless they’re paying extra close attention, they won’t be able to tell.

When you’re making the transition from your home office to the professional workplace, there is nothing better than a business casual suit. Aim to buy one made from comfortable materials like cotton or cashmere.
Casual women’s suits may have sweater-like blazers and wide-leg pants that make them a key transition piece between casual and formal.

3) A Double-Breasted Suit
The opposite of a casual suit on our list of suits every professional needs is the double-breasted suit. A staple of menswear, this sophisticated blazer with buttons down either side is the ideal suit for high-powered meetings or boardrooms.
Consider purchasing a double-breasted suit that is slightly longer than your waist and comes in a neutral color with stripes.

4) A Brightly-Colored Suit
Another suit you want to keep in your closet rotation is a brightly-colored one. These are ideal for showing your colleagues that you have a personality, especially if you have a creative job. Consider buying a one-color suit in yellow, red, or bright blue.
Alternatively, you could buy a neutral-color suit with a brighter color if you work in a more conservative field.
Next Steps for Preserving Your Suit Collection
If you want to ensure the longevity of your suit collection, you need to make sure you’re caring for your garments. That means that your suit style shouldn't include creased pants or dented shoulder pads. Instead, you need to hang your suits on hangers that will make sure they preserve their polish for years to come.
This is where Butler Luxury suit hangers come in such handy. Made of sturdy wood and shaped to match the slope of your shoulders, our hangers are the highest quality you can buy. This means that your fine fabrics won’t wilt or become dented from metal or plastic hangers.
What’s more, we have suit hangers for every type of garment, from skirts to heavy blazers to trousers.
As you’re building your collection of suits every professional needs, be sure that you’re also collecting high-quality Butler hangers.
If you are looking for closet storage hardware to care for your pants, you may be considering pant racks or wooden hangers. Here, we help you identify the best option by discussing the features of each. We'll also cover the types available in the market and their suitability.
