CLOTHING CARE GUIDELINES
Maintaining the quality and freshness of your clothes is essential for their longevity. Follow these tips to extend the lifespan of your cotton garments.
Washing
- Wash your clothes only when necessary. Airing them out can
keep them fresh for additional uses. - Hand-wash your clothes. Our collection, being handwoven or
hand-block printed, isn’t suitable for washing machines or
dryers. - Expect moderate shrinkage and potential color shedding,
especially in certain fabrics like ikats and block-printed textiles.
Dry-cleaning is recommended for such pieces.
Sorting
Sort clothes by color to wash similar shades together.
Soaking
Add shampoo or a mild detergent to half a bucket of cold water.
Soak the garment for just five minutes before washing immediately.
Rinsing
Gently rub soiled areas by hand; avoid using brushes or soap
bars. Rinse the garment multiple times in cold water to eliminate any
detergent residue.
Starching
Achieve a crisp finish by dipping clothes in a liquid starch
solution. Avoid excessive wringing.
Drying
Protect colors from fading by drying clothes in the shade or
evening sunlight. Hang garments straight on rust-proof hangers (plastic or
wooden).
Ironing
Avoid direct ironing on block-prints and embroidery. Iron these
items inside out with a light touch.
Storing
Store clothes in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.Separate whites and light garments from darker ones. Use aromatic sachets to prevent cupboard odours.
Silk and Silk Blends
Dry-clean silk and silk-blend fabrics only. Store them in cloth covers along with scented sachets for added freshness.
