Fabric Care
To ensure your silk retains its charm and beauty for many years to come, we recommend the following:
Care
Take care to avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight when storing the product as this may cause colour fading and/or shrinkage. We recommend storing the product in a cool, shaded and dry place at all times.
Cleaning
Dry-clean only. Wear more, clean less! Iron inside out on a low heat.
Hand-Dyed
As with all hand-dyed products, some colour variation within and between items is normal. Hand-dyed products may bleed slightly when wet, so please follow cleaning instructions carefully.
