What fabric is the Stretch Velvet Long Sleeve Ruched Gown in Mulberry made from?
The Stretch Velvet Long Sleeve Ruched Gown in Mulberry is crafted from 96% Polyester, 4% Elastane. LaPointe favours fabrics with movement and shine, chosen for drape and a refined hand-feel.
How should I care for the Stretch Velvet Long Sleeve Ruched Gown in Mulberry?
96% Polyester, 4% Elastane. Machine wash cold; dry cleaning also suits it. Hang on a padded hanger and steam from inside to lift the velvet pile. 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?
Yes. Coveti ships LaPointe worldwide from our UAE and Australia hubs by DHL Express and FedEx International Priority, insured and signature required. 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.
