Start by checking the care label inside the shirt—Fendi uses a range of fabrics (cotton poplin, jersey, silk blends), and the label is the most reliable guide for water temperature, cycle, and whether dry cleaning is required. If the label indicates dry clean only, don’t risk washing at home; take it to a reputable cleaner that handles luxury garments.
1) Spot-test and pre-treat. If there are stains, dab (don’t rub) with a mild detergent solution on an inconspicuous area first. For collar or cuff grime, lightly work in a small amount of gentle liquid detergent.
2) Turn it inside out. This helps protect logos, prints, embroidery, and the outer finish from friction and fading.
3) Choose cold water and a gentle cycle. Cold water reduces dye bleed and shrink risk. Use a delicate or hand-wash cycle and a mild, bleach-free detergent. Avoid optical brighteners if the shirt has rich colors or special finishes.
4) Use a mesh laundry bag (recommended). Especially for shirts with appliqués, embellishments, or delicate knits, a bag reduces snagging and stretching.
5) Skip harsh additives. Avoid chlorine bleach and heavy fabric softener. Softener can leave residue on performance weaves and some luxury cottons, making the fabric look dull over time.
6) Air-dry the right way. Heat is the biggest enemy of shape and prints. Lay knits flat to dry to prevent stretching; hang woven shirts on a padded hanger and smooth seams while damp. Keep out of direct sunlight to minimize fading.
Iron only if the label allows it. Use the lowest effective heat, and press inside out for printed areas. For crisp cotton, a light steam press usually restores the original look. Store on quality hangers to maintain shoulder shape, or fold knits to avoid hanger marks.

It’s best to avoid the dryer unless the care label explicitly allows it. Tumble heat can shrink fibers, crack prints, and weaken elastic trims; air-drying is safer for maintaining fit and finish.
