They differ from professional techniques. While we strive for accuracy, our products may not be perfect compared to mass-produced or professionally made items. We kindly ask for your understanding and purchase with the appreciation of the craftsmanship passed down from mother to child. *About payment: Payment is requested within 3 business days after placing your order (including the order date).

[Care for plant-dyed and handwoven 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 points 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 sizing: For fabric products, we may use rice-sized starch for the threads, but the starch will typically wash out after about two washes. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
