Care is part of the design

Replaceable panels, generous seams and the small decisions that extend a garment's life.

Sornelle studio editorial

Longevity is rarely one grand material claim. It is spare cloth in a seam, a fastening that can be replaced without opening a whole jacket, and a lining chosen because it can be repaired by a competent local tailor.

Sornelle pieces use familiar constructions on purpose. The modular elements are documented and removable, but the body of each garment remains recognisable tailoring rather than a proprietary puzzle.

Brush wool after wear, air it before storing, and press through cloth rather than directly. The care page collects the practical notes buyers ask for most often.
