BEST CARE TIPS FOR YOUR HAND-BLOCK PRINTS
Our hand-block print designs are created using gentle eco/azo-free dyes, on 100% cotton.
- For first few times wash separately.
- Hand wash recommended with cold water.
- Use non-enzyme/non-biological washing powder or liquid.
- Do not wring and or bleach
- Pull to shape and dry inside-out in shade.
- Strong coloured items should be washed separately, and may require 3 or more washes to remove excess dye.
- For foil printed & chanderi products it’s mandatory to change the folds on regular basis and when not in use keep the product wrapped in packaging where it does not get air continuously.
BEST CARE TIPS FOR YOUR LINENS
Our 100% premium linen should last for years - with French seams for durability, the fabric will get softer and softer over time.
- Hand wash recommended with cold water
- Use non-enzyme/non-biological washing powder or liquid.
- Do not wring and or bleach
- Where Possible wash with similar colours.
BEST CARE TIPS FOR YOUR 100% COTTON HAND-BLOCK QUILT
Our hand-block printed quilts are 100% cotton, both outer and hand-filled.
- Hand wash recommended with cold water
- Use non-enzyme/non-biological washing powder or liquid.
- Do notwring and or bleach
- We recommend airing regularly outside on a sunny day to refresh and only washing when necessary.
Note: Bleeding of Colour in little amount is expected due to traditional dying process. Separate hand-wash is always recommended where possible for better life cycle of block printed products.
