Care Instructions — The Washing Ritual

The first few washes are the most important, as hand-block printed fabrics using natural artisan dyes may release a small amount of excess pigment.

  • First Wash: Soak the garment for 5–10 minutes in cold water with half a cup of salt to help fix the natural colours.
  • Gentle Hand or Delicate Wash: Especially for Mulmul cotton, hand wash in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, or machine wash on a delicate 30°C cycle.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach or optical brightening detergents, which weaken natural dyes and cotton fibres.
  • Separate Colours: Darker vegetable dyes (such as Indigo or Madder) should always be washed separately from whites.
  • Shadow Dry Inside Out: Always dry garments in the shade rather than direct sunlight, and hang inside out without tight wringing.
  • Ironing: Iron on the reverse side while slightly damp using a Cotton/Silk setting.
