Kindly note that custom-made items are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. We appreciate your understanding and acceptance of the unique marks of handmade artistry. **> Indigo Dyeing** "Blue, taken from indigo, yet surpassing it in brilliance." *Persicaria tinctoria*, a humble annual herb, lends its essence to this time-honored dyeing technique, giving indigo dye its name. This natural dyeing process, involving multiple immersions and embracing the inherent unpredictability of nature, yields mesmerizing color gradients and textures. It is in this creative dance with the elements that the true allure of indigo lies, offering a constant promise of delightful surprises. **> Plant-Based Dyeing** Derived from nature's bounty, each plant yields a unique hue, imbuing fabrics with pure, soft colors and a subtle, earthy fragrance. While initial washes may reveal a gentle fading, it is akin to the patina of time, imparting a natural, serene, and lived-in charm. **> Care Instructions** 1. These traditional plant-dyed items have undergone a color-setting wash. Please be aware that due to the handmade dyeing process, colors may vary unevenly, and each piece will possess slight individual differences. 2. Plant-dyed fabrics are naturally resistant to dirt and sweat. For minor soiling, localized cleaning is recommended. Wash with cold water, without soaking, and avoid wringing forcefully. Do not expose to direct sunlight; instead, hang to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. 3. Feel free to wear these pieces daily for routine activities and light exercise without needing to remove them. However, to preserve the longevity of the cotton fabric, which can take time to dry when wet, we advise against wearing them while bathing. **The purer the indigo, the less chemical fixation is used, leading to a more pronounced initial color bleed. Yet, this is an integral part of its character. This fading, a beautiful transformation through use, is known as 'luò sè' (color drop). Without it, indigo would lose a significant part of its captivating charm.**
