Wash and Care for Handwoven Kala Cotton:

Cotton is a natural fibre. Kala Cotton is a fabric that signifies resilience. A rain-fed crop that doesn't require any fertilizers or pesticides, Kala Cotton is what our ancestors used in the past, and what our generations to come will use in the future, due to the growing need for sustainable fashion alternatives. It is a light fabric that gives your skin friendly and breathable, giving highest comfort.

Indigo, along with other natural dyes, are used in dresses that are entirely made using environmentally friendly resources and materials. Therefore, they need to be treated with care. As these dyes are all-natural, derived from pure sources, they do no damage to the environment. Moreover, Indigo has healing properties to the skin and aid in keeping the body cool during summers, which is apt for the Indian climate.

Wash and care for naturally dyed clothes

Wash dyed garments separately, using cold water and preferably a gentle pH-neutral soap.
Clothes can be hung to dry instead of using a machine dryer which ultimately uses more energy and electricity.
Do not dry these garments in direct sunlight, as this often results in excessive color fading.
Fabric color will tend to spread and bleed into the water. As a result, a slightly noticeable fade of color may occur over time, which is natural and adds to the charm of the clothes.
Indigo or other naturally dyed pieces of clothes should be preserved in the Crow muslin bag provided. The muslin protects your garments from sunlight and fading.

Linen Care Instructions

Separate white, dark, and colored linens. For best results, wash separately from other fabrics.
Wash in lukewarm water (<40°C/104°F). High temperatures may cause shrinkage of up to 10% and weaken the linen fiber.
Use the gentle machine cycle and don’t overload your washing machine.
Use mild detergent formulated for delicate fabrics. Don't bleach.
