Care Instructions
The beauty of this handloom replica lies in its resilience and low-maintenance nature:
-
Washing: Gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended to maintain color intensity and zari luster.
-
Drying: Always dry in the shade to protect the vibrant green dyes and prevent the ivory base from yellowing.
-
Ironing: Use a medium-heat steam iron to achieve the signature crisp Kerala look. Always iron on the reverse side of the gold zari to protect its shine.
