-
For every season— Long sets for colder days, short sets for summer — the same soft quality
Care
Donder Velvet can take a beating
The fabric itself needs little care — strong, doesn't shrink, doesn't pill. You can be quite rough with it. The standard advice is ideal, but it's not that strict. Only for the embroidery is it smart not to set the tumble dryer too hot.
-
Tumble dryer? Yes— The fabric doesn't shrink and even gets extra soft. Just not too hot — otherwise the embroidery can shrink.
-
Doesn't pill— Stays smooth and soft, even after intensive use and many washes.
-
Dries quickly— A quick hang is often enough — no tumble dryer needed.
-
Doesn't crease— No iron needed — wear it straight from the washing machine.
-
Protect the embroidery— Keep the tumble dryer on a low temperature. Slight distortion can often be reduced with steam.
Frequently asked questions about Donder Velvet
The softness is combined with highly elastic fabric for maximum freedom of movement. The velvet keeps its shape and colour, even after intensive use and many washes. Our most iconic collection — a favourite of thousands of little Donders.
Wash at 30°C, inside out. Do not use fabric softener. Do not steam, do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. This keeps the soft velvet look the longest.
Standard velvet can be prone to pilling. Our velvet is woven with stronger yarns and keeps its look after many washes — as long as you wash it inside out at a low temperature.
Our Velvet has a regular to slightly roomy, relaxed fit. Sizes are shown as a size group (e.g. 110/116), and the garment always fits the largest size in the group — so a 110/116 is really a 116. Not sure? Choose your normal size. For a more oversized look, you can go one size up. Check the size chart at /pages/maten.
Yes — we make long sets for colder days and short sets for summer. All in the same soft velvet. You can wear it all year round.
Absolutely. We have velvet for both kids and parents in matching colours and styles. Including unisex versions and special mum fits — for a subtle or eye-catching twinning look.
No. The fabric itself doesn't shrink and the colour stays like new — even after countless washes and washing at higher temperatures. Only the embroidery can shrink slightly at high heat (tumble dryer) — that's why we recommend not setting the dryer too hot.
