Plant-Dyed Cotton Hand-Embroidered Pouch S / Hand-Woven / Light Blue / Tie-Wrap Pouch

[ One-of-a-kind, Ethical Product ] This is an embroidered pouch made by the Karen people living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Cotton threads are dyed with plant-based colors, and then meticulously woven and embroidered over a long period. By blending traditional techniques with modern design, these items seamlessly integrate into contemporary lifestyles. Conveniently sized for business cards, it can hold around 15 cards, such as credit cards or health insurance cards. It's also perfect for carrying small essentials like lipstick, a compact mirror, or medication. The charming, flower-like patterns based on traditional embroidery are delightful and will surely brighten your day when you see it in your bag. To fasten, simply wrap the string around the pouch once and then secure it by tying it to the coconut button. We are committed to sustainable craftsmanship, selecting materials that are free from metal and biodegradable. The light blue color is dyed using indigo leaves, some of which are grown on our own farm. It has a deep, gentle hue that exudes a sense of quality. This pouch, filled with the charm of handmade craftsmanship, also makes a wonderful gift for someone special. --- ▽ Click here for more pouches https://pinkoi.com/store/chikuchikutong?catp=group_1%2Cgroup_1_3 ※ Designs and sizes may vary. --- <Approximate Internal Dimensions> Width: 10.5cm (4.1 inches) Depth: 7.5cm (3 inches) <Materials> Cotton, Coconut button ※ Synthetic fibers are used in machine-sewn areas. https://img.lazcdn.com/g/p/c37d07a370c72e02614ac51aa978efa9.jpg_2200x2200q80.jpg_.webp ※ Gift wrapping is also available.

[Care Instructions for Plant-Dyed and Hand-Woven Products] Plant-dyed products are less resistant to washing and sunlight compared to chemical dyes, and their colors will change with use. Please pay attention to the following when caring for and using them. Color transfer or fading may occur due to friction or moisture. Be mindful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. 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. When washing, we recommend hand washing 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. However, machine washing may accelerate fabric damage and color fading. Avoid using a dryer and dry in the shade. - About Starching: For fabric products, threads may be starched using rice. The starch will typically wash out after about two washes. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
