When you invest in a beautiful designer gown from Oscar de la Renta or Carolina Herrera, a premium cashmere sweater from Brunello Cucinelli, or a perfectly tailored fine shirt from Charvet, you’re not just buying clothing—you’re investing in luxury fashion. Whether it’s a stunning Dior couture piece or an iconic Prada design, here’s what many people don’t realize: the true cost of quality clothing isn’t just the purchase price; it’s how long it maintains its elegance.
For over 70 years, Margaret’s Couture Cleaner has been helping discerning clients in San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, and Southern California protect their wardrobe investments through specialized care that goes far beyond ordinary dry cleaning. Through our CleanByMail service available nationwide, we now serve luxury fashion enthusiasts across the entire United States. Here’s why professional garment care isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for anyone who values their designer clothing and luxury accessories.
Your Designer Wardrobe:
An Investment Portfolio That Needs Expert Protection
Think about it: that $500 silk blouse, $4,000 wool coat from Loro Piana, or $5,000 evening gown represents a significant financial investment. Whether it’s a Chanel handbag, Hermès accessories, Gucci leather goods, Louis Vuitton luxury items, or a statement Versace piece, many people treat these valuable pieces the same way they’d treat a basic cotton t-shirt. The result? Premature wear, fading, shape loss, and ultimately, having to replace expensive designer items years before their time.
Professional luxury garment care changes this equation entirely. When done correctly, it doesn’t just clean your clothes—it preserves and extends their lifespan, protecting your investment for years or even decades to come.

Our nationwide CleanByMail service brings this same level of expertise to luxury fashion enthusiasts across the United States, from New York to Florida, Texas to Washington—ensuring your investment pieces receive the care they deserve no matter where you live.
