CARE

With a long term relationship in mind, store, wear and wash your silk items with these tips and help the longevity of your vintage silk’s life.

• Cold hand wash with eco-friendly detergent.
• After cleaning don’t wring excess moisture, but ‘ball’ the fabric together or roll in a towel.
• Dry clean for heavier cleaning and to remove stains.
• Steam to even out wrinkles or gently iron the creases. Make sure the silk is dry when you iron your garment, silk is prone to leave water marks.
• Hang in a dry and dark closet, preferably with a natural moth repellent.

Your silk will thank you!

PRODUCTION

Ethically made in Jaipur, India.

For this batik collection we collaborated with a small atelier in Jaipur. Working with family and friends in a cooperative society, they make sure everyone has enough work within their own discipline to sustain their families’ livelihoods.

This blouse takes around 2,5 hours to finish: from cutting the pattern, to sewing the pieces together, creating the ruffles and attaching the buttons, and finishing by ironing and packing for transport.

With a zero-waste policy, we asked our partner to make scrunchies from the fabric scraps. If you select the scrunchie via the dropdown, we will add a matching hairpiece for you!
