[Care instructions for botanical dye and hand-woven products] Botanical dyes are less resistant to washing and sunlight compared to chemical dyes, and their colors will change with use. Please pay attention to the following points when caring for and using these products. Friction or moisture may cause color transfer or fading. Be mindful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. Using dark-colored clothing or bags together may make any color transfer less noticeable. Darker colors are particularly prone to fading, so we recommend washing them once before wearing. When washing, we recommend hand washing separately from other clothes. If using a washing machine, use a neutral detergent, place the item in a laundry net, and wash on a gentle cycle separately from other clothes. However, machine washing may accelerate fabric damage and color fading. Avoid using a dryer and hang to dry in the shade. - About sizing. For fabric products, threads may be sized using rice paste, which typically washes out after about two washes. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
