Washing Guidance

Hand Wash

Use cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Do not twist, rub or wring delicate fabrics harshly.

Machine Wash

Machine wash only when suitable for the fabric. Select a gentle cycle and place delicate items inside a laundry bag.

Dry Clean

Recommended for sarees, formal wear, embroidery, embellishments and other delicate fabrics.

Drying

Dry in shade and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it may affect the color and texture.

Ironing Tips

  • Use low to medium heat according to the fabric type.
  • Iron printed and delicate garments inside out.
  • Do not iron directly over embroidery, embellishments, pearls, sequins or decorative work.
  • Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and delicate fabric where necessary.

Storage Tips

Store garments neatly folded or hung according to their fabric weight and design. Sarees, embroidered outfits and embellished pieces should be stored carefully to prevent pulling, creasing or damage to decorative details.

Color Variation Notice

Product colors may vary slightly because of lighting, photography, screen settings and fabric dye lots. Minor variations of this nature are normal and are not generally considered product defects.

Before Stitching Unstitched Fabric

  • Inspect all fabric pieces before sending them to a tailor.
  • Confirm the fabric length and included pieces against the product description.
  • Discuss lining, shrinkage, embroidery placement and finishing requirements with your tailor.
  • Do not cut, wash or stitch the fabric before reporting a product issue.
