    What the...
    That's really weird. Be really really careful with it, I guess.
    EDIT:

    That's weird too. I've got to stopping posting at 88 miles per hour.

    Hm...

    I bought a jacket from 'Zara' there - and the label says, 'Do Not Wash'. It also has some instructions about not to bleach and how to iron - but it just says 'Do Not Wash' - with no instructions about dry cleaning etc...

    What the hell do I do if it gets dirty?! This isn't a troll or an attempt at humour - I've never seen a tag that bluntly says do not wash - is this right?

    maybe it means do not machine wash you'll just have to handwash it instead and don't put it near a tumble dryer ;)

    Hmm, my clothes from Bershka, had a big warning sticker saying "Do not wash."
    It says I should just wear them and my unique style will come out, ha.
    I just put them inside out and wash them.

    I'd presume it meant dry clean only.

    Why don't you go back and ask them, or email them?

    Just noticed I had a jacket from Bershka saying that also - haven't worn it yet :eek: so no need to wash it.

    Thanks for the replies, they gave me piece of mine- I had guessed dry clean only myself, but I'd be kicking myself if it melted or...whatever clothes do when they're wrongly washed.

    I'll pop into Zara today, make a confused face and ask :) cheers!

    I bought a hat in H&M before and the instructions were 'Do not machine wash, do not hand wash, do not dry clean. Good Luck' lol
