WASHING AND CARE
Can my Sepiia garments be washed?
Of course. Sepiia shirts and polos can be washed like normal garments in the washing machine or by hand. We always recommend following the washing instructions.
Remember that the outer side of the fabric has a stain-resistant finish. However, the inner side is absorbent, allowing the garment to wick moisture away. Therefore, once the fabric is submerged in water and the inner side is soaked, the outer side also becomes moist, allowing the garment to be washed normally.
How should I wash my Sepiia garments?
Sepiia shirts and polos can be washed like normal garments in the washing machine or by hand. We always recommend following the washing instructions:
* Do not use bleach,
* Iron at medium temperature / Two points of the iron (120ºC),
* Hand or machine wash cold (30-40ºC),
* Do not dry clean,
* Wash with like colors.
We recommend that, once the wash is complete, you remove the garment from the washing machine and hang it on a hanger to dry. This will help the fabric return to its original state and prevent annoying wrinkles.
How often should clothes be washed?
Thanks to its technology, you'll need to wash Sepiia garments less frequently than a regular shirt. It all depends on the type of use the garment receives, but, like jeans, shirts or polo shirts can be worn for days without needing to be washed.
How do you remove stains like tomato sauce from clothes?
Viscous liquids, such as ketchup or syrups, slide more slowly over fabric. To remove them, we recommend using water to lift them away from the fabric. DO NOT RUB. Rubbing the stain will eventually penetrate the untreated fabric, causing it to stain.
Can Sepiia garments be ironed?
Yes, shirts and polo shirts can be ironed, although always at a medium-low temperature.
Since they are made of a thermoplastic fabric, high iron temperatures could damage the shirt.
Is it really not necessary to iron Sepiia clothes?
We have garments that minimize wrinkles (our solid-colored shirts and polos) and garments in which they are completely eliminated (our printed shirts and polos).
For best everyday performance, we recommend hanging the garment on a hanger after washing, after use or after your travels and the next day you will see how the wrinkles almost completely disappear.
If there are any small wrinkles, they will usually be corrected by body heat when wearing it. You can iron it at a maximum of 120ºC (2 iron points) once in every 10 washes.
What do I do if a stain penetrates the Sepiia fabric?
Rubbing the stain may penetrate the fabric. If this happens, you can use KH7 or a specific degreaser for stains, rub it into the inside of the garment, and wash it as usual.
Please note that the stain-resistant treatment is applied only to the outside of the garment, so the inside may become stained due to rubbing of the garment against the body. These stains will disappear by washing the garment as described above.
If the garment becomes stained due to friction or dust, wash it as usual.
Can Sepiia shrink clothes?
We guarantee that the garment will shrink 0% after washing throughout its life cycle. We have carried out the corresponding tests in the AITEX laboratories.
SIZES, SHIPPING, RETURNS AND PURCHASES
How can I find out my size?
You can check our sizes on each product page.
Are Sepiia shirts very tight?
Sepiia plain-coloured shirts come in two different fits: a “slim fit”, fitted but not excessively tight, and a “regular fit”, looser especially in the abdominal area. The fabric is quite stretchy, so it adapts well to different body types.
In the case of printed shirts, the fit is unique, and is an intermediate fit between SLIM FIT and REGULAR FIT.
In the case of polo shirts, the fit is also unique.

What guarantees do your garments have?
Our garments are not indestructible, but they do have a series of qualities that we have tested in the AITEX laboratories and we can confirm that they work.
The stain-resistant finish has some limitations that we indicate to customers, such as the distance from which the liquid is poured or the temperature of the liquid.
In the case of anti-wrinkle, we have designs in which there is a 100% reduction in wrinkles and others in which the reduction is greater than 85%.
Furthermore, we continue to work towards achieving excellence in this area.
ABOUT SEPIIA AND CLOTHES
How long does a Sepiia garment last?
The lifespan of your garment will largely depend on how much you take care of it. We have reduced the care required to a simple process: machine wash, hang on a hanger, do not use bleach, do not rub stains.
By following these instructions, the garment should last at least 3 times longer than a normal garment.
Do you have clothes for children?
We know that all parents want functional clothing for their children, so we are working to launch the children's collection soon. We hope to have it ready very soon.
Why is the company called Sepiia?
The name Sepiia refers to the cuttlefish of the sea, whose skin is the most intelligent in the world. They can change the colour and texture of their skin in an elaborate and conscious way. In addition to relating it to this animal, we wanted to make a nod to old photographic development, where sepia colour was used so that these photographs would delay their degradation and resist the passage of time.
The double “ii” stands for smart clothing. We know that no one uses the term clothing to refer to what we do, but the word “clothing” seems too simple to us and the word “fashion” has a series of temporary connotations (trends) that we do not identify with, since we make long-lasting garments with a timeless character.
