Handwoven Open Front Cardigan / Gray Plain / Plant-Dyed Cotton

[Fair Trade, Ethical Product] A soft and light, handwoven cardigan. It's convenient to slip on when you feel a chill from the air conditioning. By using fine threads and weaving them gently, we've created a soft and comfortable fabric. In addition to natural ecru, we offer beautiful plant-dyed colors like gray dyed with indigo and eucalyptus, which blend harmoniously with the skin. (Each color is available in both plain and openwork patterns.) Its relaxed fit makes it comfortable to wear. The design is based on the traditional Karen tunic, with a V-neck at the back, creating a sleek and beautiful silhouette. ※The item will be delivered after being washed once. ※To minimize shrinkage, gently stretch the fabric after washing and then dry it. --- Click here for a list of tops▽ https://pinkoi.com/store/chikuchikutong?catp=group_0%2Cgroup_0_0%2Clisting_11 ※Other colors and styles of outerwear are also available. --- <size (approx.)> Width: 79cm (31.1′′) Length: 58cm (22.8′′) Sleeve opening width: 17.5cm (6.9′′) <material> Cotton (plant-dyed, handwoven) ※Synthetic fibers are used for machine-sewn parts. ※Please check the care instructions below before purchasing. https://img.lazcdn.com/g/p/62f62063dfaed207c907f9457fb80100.jpg_2200x2200q80.jpg_.webp ■Gift Wrapping (Free) Both regular orders and gifts are wrapped as shown in the photo.

They are different from professional techniques. While we strive for accuracy, there may be imperfections compared to mass-produced or professionally made items. We ask for your understanding and purchase with the appreciation of the craftsmanship passed down from mother to child. ※About payment.

Please pay attention to the following points when caring for and using them. Color transfer or fading may occur due to friction or moisture. When wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags, be careful of color transfer. Using dark-colored clothing or bags together may make color transfer less noticeable. Dark colors, in particular, are prone to fading, so we recommend washing them once before wearing. Also, when washing, we recommend hand washing separately from other clothes. If using a washing machine, use a neutral detergent, place it in a net, and wash on a gentle cycle separately from other clothes. However, washing in a washing machine can accelerate fabric damage and color fading. Avoid using a dryer and dry in the shade. - About sizing. For fabric products, we may use threads sized with rice, but the sizing will typically come out after about two washes. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
