[Care Instructions for Natural Dye and Handwoven Products] Natural dye products are less resistant to washing and sunlight compared to chemical dyes, and their colors will change with use. Please observe the following points when caring for and using your item. Color transfer or fading may occur due to friction or moisture. Please be careful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. Using dark-colored clothing/bags together may make color transfer less noticeable. Dark colors, in particular, tend to fade easily, so we recommend washing them once before wearing. We also recommend handwashing separately from other clothes. If using a washing machine, use a neutral detergent, place the item in a net, and wash on a gentle cycle separately from other clothes. Avoid using a dryer and dry in the shade. - About Sizing Paste: For fabric products, we may use sizing paste made from rice. This paste will wash out after the first wash. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
