PRODUCT
PROPERTIES / WASH CARE/ SIZING
Our products are
made and handled by human hands involving various processes.
There is bound to
be variations in colour, finish and overall look.
The
colours you see on our website will depend on the accuracy of your monitor
for which subtle variations must be acknowledged.
These wash / dry
clean instructions must be followed very carefully.
Please do not
spray deodorant, mist or a perfume on the dress directly and avoid using
one specially for Gold & Silver Prints.
Each garment is
draped and fitted differently. The fit depends on the cut, fabric and styling
of each garment.
Some will be
fitted and some more relaxed. Our Sizing guide will help you make a decision
based on your body size.
We use premium
fabrics for all our garments hand sourced by our team. All photographs are for
representation purpose and are shot to try and look as close as possible to the
original product ordered but may have marginal colour variations from the
actual product.
We use an
“all over print” design for most our products and the positioning of
artwork may be different from that as displayed in the picture.
Slight difference
in colour from the visible product image is possible. There are times when
a camera or a computer monitor can’t match perspective of an eye. Slight
difference is unavoidable.
Washing
Care:
Handwash lightly
with mild detergent. Do not soak any cotton dress & do not
wash with another garment. Dry inside out in shade. Dry clean is ideal but hand
wash also works.
Taking care of
your clothes will keep them looking good and fresh for longer.
The following
instructions will help you prolong the life of your cotton clothes.
Water is
precious. Wash garments only when necessary. Airing it after every use will
keep them fresh for use, a couple of times.
Wash our garments
by hand. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
All our cottons
are either handloom woven or hand-block printed.
Moderate
shrinkage may be expected.
One must be very
careful when applying fragrances to handmade clothes as the ingredients may
cause your clothes to remove print or stain. It’s best to spray lightly into
the air in front of you then walk directly into the spritz.
Some fabrics may
shed excess colour. Certain ikats and block- printed textiles are prone to
excess bleeding. In such cases it is advised that you dry clean the garments
using the services of a reputed drycleaner.
In other cases,
wash the clothes carefully by hand.
Sorting
Sort clothes
colour-wise. Wash only similar coloured garments together.
Soaking
Put a small
quantity of mild detergent in a half-filled bucket of cold water. Soak the
garment in the soapy solution for five minutes. Do not soak for a longer
duration. Pre-soaked garments must be washed immediately.
Rinsing
The soiled areas
can be rubbed gently by hand. Do not use a solid bar of soap or a brush. Rinse
the garment a few times in cold water to remove the detergent completely.
Starching
A final dip in a
diluted solution of liquid starch will render a crisp finish to the garment. Do
not wring too much.
Drying
Drying your
clothes under the sun causes colour-fading. Therefore, hang them out to dry in
the evenings or in shade. Garments should be hung straight to dry on rust-
proof hangers (either plastic or wooden).
Ironing
Do not iron
directly on block-prints, embroidery, etc. Such clothes should be turned inside
out and ironed lightly.
Storage
Store garments in
a cool, dry, place protected from sunlight. Keep whites and light coloured
garments away from the darker coloured ones. Use aromatic sachets to dispel
cupboard odours.
Silk And Silk Blends
Silk and silk
blend fabrics must be dry cleaned only. Store carefully in cloth covers with a
few scented sachets.
