Care Instructions
To preserve the crispness of the cotton and the brilliance of the navy and silver detailing:
-
Washing: A gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended. Wash separately to ensure the deep navy pigments do not bleed onto the natural ivory body.
-
Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight to keep the navy dye intense and prevent the ivory fabric from yellowing.
-
Ironing: Use a medium-to-high heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp to achieve that signature, crisp Kerala finish. Iron on the reverse side of the silver zari to maintain its metallic shine.
