What fabric is the Bonded Velvet Mini Short With Feathers in Black made from?
The Bonded Velvet Mini Short With Feathers in Black is crafted from 91% Polyester, 9% Elastane, 100% Ostrich Feather. LaPointe favours fabrics with movement and shine, chosen for drape and a refined hand-feel.
How should I care for the Bonded Velvet Mini Short With Feathers in Black?
91% Polyester, 9% Elastane, 100% Ostrich Feather. Professional care only. Store flat away from direct sunlight and steam gently from a distance to protect the feathers. As a general rule for designer ready-to-wear, prefer gentle cleaning, dry flat away from direct sunlight, and store on a padded hanger to preserve the silhouette.
How do I care for LaPointe feathers, sequins, and satin?
Feather trims should be professionally cleaned, never washed at home. Shake the plumes gently to lift them after storage, and hang the piece so the feathers fall free rather than pressing against a wardrobe wall. Sequin and mesh pieces prefer a specialist clean and flat storage. Satin responds best to dry cleaning and a padded hanger, which keeps the drape LaPointe cuts for.
Where is LaPointe made?
LaPointe is designed in New York, where Sally LaPointe founded the label in 2010. The house does not publish a single country of manufacture for its collections, so Coveti lists country of origin as imported rather than claiming a factory country it has not confirmed.
Does Coveti ship LaPointe internationally?

Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which makes the customer the importer of record for local duties and taxes. The full terms are in the returns and shipping policy.
