Does Issey Miyake Pleats Please go on sale and how to wash Issey Miyake Pleats Please garments
Pleats Please by Issey Miyake is an offshoot label launched in 1988 as a capsule collection under the iconic Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE. The popularity of the uniquely pleated garments, which are light, wrinkle-proof, and do not need to be dry-cleaned, led to the birth of the diffusion label as a stand-alone line in 1994.
Combining function and form, Issey Miyake Pleats Please garments appear in bright colors and fun silhouettes, and are ideal for travel lovers and jet-setters with limited storage space, though they’re suitable for all settings of daily life. This reflects Issey Miyake’s foundational concept that “design is not for philosophy, but for life.”
How to wash Issey Miyake Pleats Please
Understandably, you don’t want your pleated garments to look anything less than fresh. Issey Miyake Pleats Please garments do not need to be dry cleaned, but here is how to wash Issey Miyake Pleats Please garments at home:
Wash at a water temperature of 30°C (86°F) or below—so on the cold cycle of your washing machine. Put the garments into a laundry net and wash on your machine’s quick cycle, or press gently if you are hand washing. Do not use fabric softener.
After gently spin drying, reshape in the direction of the pleats and lay flat to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid drying with a tumble dryer or other household dryer or in direct sunlight.
To maintain your pleated garment in its best condition, the brand recommends that the garment be washed after each wear. If the pleats fade or the garment becomes wrinkled from sitting or folding, apply moisture by spraying gently, restore the pleats to their original state, then lay flat and allow to dry naturally. Some crushed pleats are normal during the original manufacturing process, which is done after sewing, not before.

Curious how to store Issey Miyake Please Please garments? Once you’ve laundered them, roll them up gently along the lines of the pleats into a cylindrical bar shape. This allows the pleats to remain intact while the garment takes up less storage space.
Be careful not to stretch the garment or apply pressure to it, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving Issey Miyake Pleats Please garments hanging for long periods of time, as this may change the shape of their pleats.
