Beautiful lingerie deserves a little extra care. From delicate embroidery to carefully constructed cups and fine fabrics, the right washing and drying routine can help you look after the pieces you love.

If you're wondering how to wash Simone Perele bras, start with the care label. Simone Pérèle lingerie comes in different fabrics and constructions, so the instructions on your garment should always take priority.

For Intrigue bras such as the Full Cup Control Bra and Half Cup Bra, the care instructions recommend hand washing with a gentle lingerie detergent and drying flat in the shade.

The good news? Caring for beautiful lingerie doesn't need to be complicated. A gentle approach to washing, drying and storage can easily become part of your routine.

Start With the Care Label

Before washing your lingerie, take a moment to check the care label.

Bras, briefs and silk lingerie may all require slightly different treatment depending on their fabrics and construction. Following the instructions for the piece in your hands is the simplest way to choose the right washing method.

Once you've checked the label, you're ready to give your lingerie the care it deserves.

How to Wash Simone Perele Bras

For Simone Pérèle bras that call for hand washing, a gentle approach is best. The Intrigue Full Cup Control Bra and Intrigue Half Cup Bra, for example, should be hand washed with a gentle lingerie detergent and dried flat in the shade.

To hand wash your bra:

1. Check the care label first. This will tell you whether your particular bra requires hand washing and highlight any specific care instructions.
2. Use a gentle lingerie detergent. Follow the directions on your detergent and avoid treating delicate lingerie like an everyday load of washing.
3. Wash gently. Handle the bra carefully, paying particular attention to delicate fabrics, embroidery and the shape of the cups.
4. Dry as directed. For the Intrigue bras mentioned above, that means laying them flat to dry in the shade.

Taking a few extra minutes to care for your bras gently can easily become part of your regular laundry routine. Most importantly, always follow the care label on the bra you're washing.

What About the Washing Machine?

Don't assume that because a washing machine has a delicate cycle, every Simone Pérèle bra can go into it.

If the garment label specifies hand washing, follow that instruction. If another piece carries different directions, follow those instead.

The Foundation's Accessories collection includes The Foundation Wash Bag, designed for protecting delicate lingerie in the wash. It's a useful addition to your laundry routine for garments whose individual care instructions allow machine washing.

This distinction matters because “Simone Pérèle” describes the brand, not a single fabric or garment construction. Care advice needs to follow the individual item rather than a blanket rule.

Don't Forget Your Matching Briefs

If you love wearing a matching lingerie set, your briefs deserve the same thoughtful care as your bra.

The Simone Pérèle Intrigue Shorty Brief and Intrigue Culotte Brief should be hand washed with a gentle lingerie detergent and dried flat in the shade. This gentle approach is particularly suited to their delicate embroidery and fabrics.

Before washing any matching set, check the care label on both pieces. Bras and briefs can be made with different fabrics or details, so their care instructions may not always be the same.

It only takes a moment to check, and it means each piece gets the care it needs.

How to Dry Simone Pérèle Lingerie

How you dry your lingerie matters just as much as how you wash it.

For Simone Pérèle Intrigue pieces such as the Full Cup Control Bra, Half Cup Bra, Shorty Brief and Culotte Brief, the care instructions recommend drying flat in the shade.

Once washed, gently arrange your lingerie so it can dry without being crushed or crowded, and make sure it is completely dry before returning it to your lingerie drawer.

Different fabrics may need different treatment. Simone Pérèle silk, for example, has its own care requirements, so always check the garment label before drying.

A gentle wash followed by the right drying method is a simple way to give your favourite lingerie the thoughtful care it deserves.

Caring for Simone Pérèle Silk

Silk lingerie deserves a particularly gentle touch. The Simone Pérèle Love Me Silk Chemise, made from 100% silk, should be hand washed in cool water using a specialist silk detergent.

For this type of care, The Foundation offers Rylstone Botanicals Silk & Delicates Specialist Fabric Wash, giving readers a relevant option when caring for delicate silk pieces.

After washing, gently reshape the chemise while it is damp and allow it to dry flat or hanging in the shade, away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying.

If you have other Simone Pérèle silk pieces in your lingerie drawer, always check their individual care labels before washing. A little extra attention can help you care for the beautiful fabric without making your laundry routine complicated.

Store Your Lingerie With Care

Once your lingerie is clean and completely dry, thoughtful storage helps keep your drawer organised and avoids unnecessary pressure on delicate pieces.

As general lingerie-storage advice, give bras enough room rather than forcing them into an overcrowded drawer. For structured or moulded cups, avoid deliberately crushing or folding the cups simply to save space.

Delicate briefs and other lingerie can also be kept neatly together so you're not pulling them from underneath heavier garments each time you get dressed.

This is general storage guidance rather than a Simone Pérèle-specific care instruction. If your garment comes with particular storage directions, those should take priority.

Treat Different Pieces as Different Garments

One of the easiest lingerie-care mistakes is creating a single rule for an entire drawer.

You might own a structured underwired bra, an embroidered brief and a pure silk chemise from the same brand. They don't necessarily need identical treatment.

Instead, think garment first, brand second.

Check:

• the care label
• the fabric or material information provided
• the recommended washing method
• the specified detergent, where stated
• the drying instructions

This approach is simple, but it helps you avoid relying on habits that may be perfectly suitable for one garment and inappropriate for another.

Make Lingerie Care Part of Your Routine

Premium lingerie doesn't need an intimidating maintenance ritual.

The simplest approach is to slow down before washing. Check the label, separate pieces that require different care and follow the washing and drying directions given for each garment.

For Simone Pérèle Intrigue styles such as the Full Cup Control Bra and Half Cup Bra, the care instructions recommend hand washing with a gentle lingerie detergent and drying flat in the shade. For a piece such as the Love Me Silk Chemise, the instructions are different and specific to its silk fabric.

Those small distinctions are exactly why the garment label matters.

When you've found lingerie you love wearing, thoughtful care is a simple way to look after it.
