Care Instructions
To preserve the natural fibers and the intensity of the multicolored dyes:
-
Washing: A gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is highly recommended. Wash separately to ensure the deep maroon and orange pigments do not bleed onto the natural off-white body.
-
Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading.
-
Ironing: Use a medium-to-high heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp for a smooth, traditional finish.
