These are not defects but small testimonies of the age of these treasures that come from the past.\u003cbr\u003e You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle or by hand, with mild soap. Air dry them and do not spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Cecibirbona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48840089993544,"sku":"","price":80.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/8153\/5157\/files\/coppia-di-federe-antiche-con-pizzo-alluncinetto-e-monogramma-mr-biancheria-antica-per-la-casa-738.webp?v=1764965781","url":"https:\/\/www.cecibirbona.com\/en-gb\/products\/federe-antiche-con-pizzo-all-uncinetto","provider":"Cecibirbona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
