HOTFIX
Behind The Seams
We use hotfix detailing to create maximum sparkle without heavy stitching, giving you standout pieces that still feel comfortable to wear. Because this technique relies on a bonded finish rather than traditional embellishment, it comes with a few specific care needs.
How to Apply Hotfix Rhinestones With a Regular Household Iron
Hotfix diamantes/gems are applied using a heat-activated adhesive, giving that sparkling finish without stitching, but because they're bonded rather than sewn, they can loosen or lift over time with wear and washing. We've included extra diamantes/gems with your garment so any that come loose can be easily replaced.
1. For optimal results please pre heat your iron to 171°C (340°F) or cotton/ high temperature.
2. Place the rhinestone in position on your garment. You may find it helpful to use tweezers for precision.
3. To protect your iron, garment and surrounding materials we advise to sandwich the hotfix and garment between baking paper while ironing. This will help protect both the rhinestone and the garment.
4. Press the iron onto the rhinestone through the baking paper for about 40 seconds. Ensure to apply firm, even pressure and do not move the iron to prevent the rhinestone to move away from the correct position.
5. Remove the iron and let the rhinestone cool down before checking its attachment.

Washing Hotfix
Please read the wash instructions thoroughly before cleaning. Hand wash in cold water only, avoiding rubbing directly over hotfix areas, and never soak for long periods, as prolonged water exposure can weaken the adhesive bond.
Always dry flat, away from direct heat, and out of direct sunlight.
