Care Instructions

We skip care labels to reduce waste and keep our reversible designs truly reversible. Most tags end up in landfill (or snipped off on day one), so we’ve chosen a cleaner, smarter, more sustainable way. Every Lokal Folk piece is tag-free for comfort, longevity and less environmental impact — with all your care instructions available here online.

How to care for your pieces

  • Gentle machine wash in cold water with similar colours
  • Do not bleach, soak or rub
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Line dry in shade
  • Do not dry clean

Care Labels

Our children’s garments are fully reversible, so we rely on clause 2.5 of the Consumer Goods (Care Labelling) Information Standard 2023, which adopts AS/NZS 1957:1998 with variations. Under clause 2.5, reversible garments are one of the ‘made-up goods’ that are exempt from the requirement for a permanent care label.

Where a permanent label is not provided, the standard allows care instructions to be supplied on a removable ticket or label, on a pamphlet accompanying the goods, or as printed instructions on the wrapper or packaging. We comply with this by providing clear, English-language care instructions on an insert inside the packaging for each reversible garment, and also on our website.”
