Luxury fabric care

Life Hacks Published on 2 May 2006 in Life Hacks

The Laundress is a collection of high-end fabric detergents and care products.

When Lindsey Wieber, a sales executive for Chanel and Gwen Whiting, a senior designer for Ralph Lauren, realized that their expensive clothes were suffering from dry cleaning, they took matters into their own hands and created The Laundress. Their line of premium fabric care products provides detergents for superior fabrics, from wool/cashmere shampoo to baby detergent. In their own words: “All fabrics are different - everything needs to be treated differently. All of our products were developed for a specific reason.”

Adding to the sense of luxury, detergents and care products come in four signature fragrances: Classic, Cedar, Baby and Lady. The Laundress range also includes laundry bags and 'wet' swimsuit pouches.

Previously, we wrote about Laundry Spa and Slate, two laundry services with a deluxe touch. Unlike these services, which are both based in Manhattan, The Laundress extends the luxury laundry concept to consumers all over the United States, and is making its way across the rest of the world. Rinse and repeat after us: any product or service can be upgraded to massclusivity or uber-premium status!

Comments on this idea:

Hi,
Do you know if anyone is selling these products in the U.K.? If not do you think it would be possible for me to set up a business selling these in the UK?
Kind regards
