Garment Care ~ We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.
Ethically handmade with love in India, the creation of this garment serves to support local traditions and the preservation of the ancient artistry of hand-block printing.
