For your silk

Before You Begin:
We recommend dry cleaning your silk scarf to maintain its pristine condition. However, should you find yourself stranded on a beautiful beach (or in a pinch), hand washing is the next best thing.

Hand washing a silk scarf:

1. Fill a basin with lukewarm water (around 30°C / 86°F).

2. Add a gentle detergent (designed for delicates) or a small amount of baby shampoo. Avoid regular laundry detergents.

3. Submerge the scarf and swirl gently for 3–5 minutes. Do not scrub, wring, or twist.

4. Rinse with cool water until the water runs clear.

5. Remove excess water by pressing the scarf between two clean towels — don’t wring.

6. Lay flat to dry on a towel or drying rack in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colours.

Steaming a silk scarf:

1. Set your steamer to a low heat setting, specifically for delicate fabrics.

2. Hold the scarf by one corner and hang it loosely.

3. Steam the scarf by holding the steamer a few inches away and gently moving it over the surface, keeping the fabric taut to avoid wrinkles.

4. Let the scarf cool for a few minutes before handling, to ensure the fabric stays smooth.

5. Avoid using an iron directly on the silk, as it can damage the fibres. Steaming is the gentler, safer option for maintaining the scarf’s quality.

For your cotton

Wash separately for the first few washes — natural dyes may release colour, so allow your piece to fly solo initially.

Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
No bleach. No scrubbing. Gentle wringing only.

Line dry in the shade — keep the sarong out of direct sunlight.
Skip the tumble dryer, as heat can shrink or damage the screen-printed design.

Store loosely folded. Avoid damp places — natural fibres love fresh air.

Each sarong is hand-printed, meaning no two are ever the same.
