FABRIC : All of our fabrics are natural fabrics, either 100% pure cotton or 100% pure linen. We deliberately work with these fabrics as they are breathable and allow the air to flow through the fabrics, letting your skin breathe, allowing the sweat to evaporate and your body to self cool. This causes less skin irritations (thats why bandages are made of cotton) and you will be less susceptible to heat rashes. Wearing synthetic fabrics is like wearing a plastic bag, and because we are designed to be worn in the tropical heat, we highly recommend you steer clear of all synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester, viscose rayon, modal etc)
SHRINKAGE : It is a common misconception that all cotton shrinks. For this reason, we ensure that all of our fabrics are pre-shrunk. So they should not shrink further. However all of the labels request that you HANG DRY - please DO NOT put our garments in the dryer. Luckily our fabrics are lightweight enough to dry easily when hung.
CARE : Gentle machine wash in cold or slightly warm water, with like colors. Hand wash if garment has tassels. Do not bleach. Do not soak. Hang Dry - DO NOT put in the dryer. Warm iron - DO NOT iron sequins, beads or trims.
IRONING : Not all cottons require extensive ironing. If you wash on a gentle cycle, take out of the machine as soon as it is finished. Hand flatten on your laundry bench, and then hang dry. Then the garment will require no ironing or minimal ironing, depending on your personal preference.
