Apologies if this has been posted here before. Last year I picked up this book about Rick Owens during the Taschen sale and there are a few left. It was really interesting to read about his approach to design and of course, see the looks.

Hi everyone, not sure if this thread is still active but keeping my fingers crossed! I recently got a gorgeous RO puffer jacket as a gift but noticed the care label says “do not wash” and “do not dry clean” - I’m guessing this is because of the leather pockets. Does anyone know how I am supposed to clean this jacket? If I can’t clean it easily, I might just have to return it (which makes me so sad). I am attaching a stock photo so you can see what the jacket looks like. 
It might require a specialty dry cleaner who can treat leather. they might put “Do not dry clean” on the label to avoid complaints if the cleaner you use ruins it. But generally a high end dry cleaner should be able to clean it.
Lovely jacket!
You might be able to steam the jacket, to remove odours and mild grunge. I steam most of our clothes now. Then brush or sometimes brush first if there is any visible dirt. Then brush again after steaming.
Also you can usually spot clean by dabbing with a damp cloth.
However I’d consider the tags part of the purchase contract & the manufacturer has no responsibility.
I’d pass unless it’s for a special occasion & worth it to you.
RO is an edgy designer who like to stretch limits, adore his designs but a lot of his production is sadly not very practical. Sometimes I thin he designed with disintegration as part of his cool edgy look.
Good luck!
