Caring for
Hand-Embroidered
Gentle care ensures your wearable art remains a masterpiece for generations. Follow our curated ritual for fabric longevity.
The Longevity of Art
Hand embroidery is more than just thread on fabric; it is a meticulous chronicle of time and patience. Unlike machine-made garments, every stitch carries the artisan's intent and pressure. Proper care is a form of respect for this craftsmanship. When you wash with cool water and store in breathable linens, you are not just cleaning a garment—you are preserving a legacy of slow fashion that defies the transience of modern trends.
Washing 01
Technique
Submerge in cool water using only pH-neutral detergents. Never scrub the embroidered area; instead, gently swirl the garment to loosen dust.
Cautions
Avoid chlorine bleach and synthetic fabric softeners which can degrade the natural silk or cotton threads over time.
Drying 02
Flat Lay
Roll the wet garment in a clean white towel and press gently to remove excess moisture. Never wring. Lay flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight.
Ironing
Iron on the reverse side while slightly damp. Place a thick, soft towel underneath the embroidery to prevent the stitches from being flattened.
Storage 03
Avoid Plastic
Plastic covers trap moisture and cause yellowing. Use cotton garment bags or acid-free tissue paper to maintain breathability.
Climate Control
Store in a cool, dry place. Extreme temperature shifts can cause fibers to expand and contract, loosening the intricate embroidery.
