Care Instructions

Natural dyeing is a living process — just like plants and our skin, colors may evolve over time. To ensure the longevity of your piece, special care is essential:

• Use a neutral pH detergent (such as eco breseh detergent soap nut in Bali). Avoid any products with whitening agents, as they can bleach natural dyes.

• For hand washing, a short soak in soapy water with neutral pH detergent is ideal. Avoid prolonged soaking and, most importantly, do not rub the fabric.

• Wash your garment separately or with similar colors to prevent it from being affected by synthetic dyes from other clothing.

• You can also machine wash on a delicate cold cycle (silk/wool setting) using an ecological, neutral pH detergent.

• It’s best to dry your garment in the shade, but occasional gentle tumble drying for silk is acceptable.

• In case of grease stains, apply a small amount of talcum powder and leave it on overnight or for a day. Gently remove the powder and repeat if necessary.

• Natural dyes are sensitive to acidic substances. Avoid contact with lemon, vinegar, alcohol, deodorants, and perfumes. If it’s too harsh for your skin, it will be too harsh for your silk.
