Could your prized vintage Chanel gown or rare Dior archive stay as vibrant as the day you first saw it? Historic and vintage fashion collections carry stories of artistry and heritage. Delicate fabrics like silk or lace can fade or tear without proper care.
We understand the deep value of your fashion collection. At UOVO Fashion, our storage methods protect these pieces from harm caused by humidity or pests. With advanced facilities and personalized services, we ensure every garment remains in flawless condition, whether it’s a family heirloom or a designer’s legacy.
You deserve confidence that your collection is safe and ready to wear or display whenever you wish. Our expert processes, from climate-controlled storage to custom delivery, keep your pieces radiant for years.
Here’s how UOVO can preserve your fashion collection.
Evaluate and Prepare Fashion Collections for Safe Storage
UOVO Fashion begins preserving your historic and vintage fashion collections with a careful evaluation and preparation process. Every garment, from a 1920s flapper dress to a couture jacket, needs specialized attention to stay in top condition.
Our experts assess each piece to understand its unique needs and ensure it’s ready for long-term storage. It is a key step to vintage fashion preservation, as it protects delicate fabrics from damage and helps maintain their beauty.
Inspect Fabrics for Special Needs
Our team of trained professionals carefully examines every item. We look for signs of wear and tear, stains, or weak spots in fabrics like silk or velvet.
Some pieces, such as beaded gowns, may need extra support to prevent stretching. Others, like leather accessories, require specific treatments to avoid cracking.
Pack With Archival Materials
After inspection, we prepare your garments for storage using high-quality materials. For example, a vintage wedding veil might be gently folded with padding to maintain its shape. These methods, designed for vintage fashion preservation, protect your collection from harm while it rests in our care.
Store Collections in Advanced Facilities
Once your fashion collection is prepared, we store it in facilities built for fashion collection management. Our advanced storage spaces protect historic and vintage garments from harm, ensuring they remain in excellent condition.
Control Temperature and Humidity
Delicate fabrics like lace or wool can weaken in the wrong conditions. We maintain steady temperature and humidity levels to support vintage fashion preservation.
Our systems adjust automatically to keep each garment in ideal conditions, protecting its beauty and structure.
Protect Against Pests and Dust
Pests and dust pose serious risks to historic attire conservation. Our facilities use air purifiers to remove dust and keep the air clean. We also seal storage areas to block pests that could damage fabrics like fur or cotton.
Secure Valuable Items
Your collection deserves the highest level of safety. We use 24/7 monitoring systems, including cameras and alarms, to protect every piece. Our privately-owned facilities, designed with collectors in mind, reflect UOVO storage solutions tailored for valuable items.
Organize Collections for Easy Access
A well-organized fashion collection makes it easy to enjoy your pieces. At UOVO Fashion, we arrange every garment for accessibility and long-term care, using professional tools and methods.
Photograph Items for Records
We photograph every item in your collection to create a clear visual record. These photos help us track each piece and support vintage fashion preservation by noting its condition.
You can review these images anytime and know that your collection is well-documented.

Maintain and Deliver Collections With Care
Keeping your fashion collection in top shape requires ongoing care. We maintain your garments through regular checks and offer delivery services to make them accessible.
Conduct Regular Inspections
Our experts inspect stored items to ensure they remain in excellent condition. We check for signs of stress in fabrics, like fraying on a 1960s skirt, and address any potential issues promptly.
These inspections, part of our commitment to historic attire conservation, help your collection stay flawless over time. You can trust us to care for every detail.
Deliver Seasonal Wardrobes
We make seasonal changes easy with wardrobe delivery. At the start of summer, we can deliver your lightweight dresses and pick up heavy coats for storage. This service keeps your closet organized and supports vintage fashion preservation.
Your off-season garments stay safe in our facilities until you need them again.
