  fabric fibers, fabric textures, fabric finishes, dyes, trim and embellishments, and construction.
  
  
• Determine the best and most appropriate cleaning techniques, processes and solutions. All stains receive immediate attention.
  
  
• Fragile buttons, trim, embellishments and ornaments are removed prior to cleaning, and reattached when finishing the piece.
  
  
• Minor repairs are performed before the actual cleaning process begins, and again should it be necessary during the final inspection process.
  
  
• Every garment is delicately hand finished. Both inside and out. The old fashioned way. Using a hand iron. With an appreciation of the nuances and subtleties of the couturier's sensibilities.
  
  
• Every garment is carefully and thoroughly inspected. From top to bottom. From inside to outside.
  
  
• Every garment is individually and elegantly packaged to ensure that they are protected during  transportation and short-term storage.

Nowhere are higher standards applied.

From Chanel and Michael Casey to Oscar de la Renta and Christian Lacroix, you can trust RAVE FabriCARE with all your couture garments.
