Care Advice
This garment is made and dyed by hand, in this order. Color going by the same name will very seldom have been dyed together and will therefore not be in the exact same shade. Any irregularities with this garment is what makes it unique and is part of its charm.
Wash this garment carefully by hand in lukewarm water, or you may run it through a washing machine in no more than 30° C (almost cold) water. Always wash this garment inside out to protect the embroidery and color. Always wash your new garment before wearing it, and wash it separately to prevent staining.
When washing your garment for the first time, use a cup of salt instead of any washing detergent. This will protect the vibrant colors and prevent fading.
If you want to iron your garment, use a lukewarm iron and with your garment turned inside out to protect it. With time, as the garment gets softer, the need for any ironing will diminish. Just hang your wet garment with care, and carefully straighten all seams and embroidery.
