Material:
This shawl is crafted from 100% organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Organic cotton is gentler on the skin, breathable, lightweight, and naturally hypoallergenic.
Dyeing:
The fabric is dyed using organic dyes, derived from natural plant, fruit, mineral, or earth-based sources. This eco-friendly method avoids synthetic chemicals, maintaining the purity and softness of the fabric while ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Weaving:
Each shawl is hand-woven by our skilled artisans using traditional techniques. This slow, mindful process gives every piece a unique texture and slight variations that add character and soul to the fabric — no two shawls are exactly alike.
Texture and Feel:
Expect a soft, breathable, and slightly textured feel against your skin. Over time, with proper care, the shawl becomes even softer without losing its strength.

Care Instructions:
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your organic cotton, naturally dyed, handwoven shawl, follow these steps:
Washing:
-
Hand wash only: Use cold water (room temperature).
-
Mild detergents: Preferably eco-friendly or pH-neutral detergents. Avoid detergents with bleach, brighteners, or enzymes, as they may damage natural dyes.
-
Do not wring: Gently swirl the shawl in water; avoid aggressive scrubbing or twisting.
-
Separate colors: Especially during the first few washes, as natural dyes may release a little color.
Drying:
-
Dry flat: Lay it flat on a towel in a shaded area.
-
Avoid direct sunlight: Sun can cause natural colors to fade.
-
Do not tumble dry: Air drying is best to retain the softness and color.
Ironing:
-
Low to medium heat: Steam ironing is safe but always from the reverse side.
-
Use a cloth: Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the shawl if ironing directly.
Storage:
-
Store in a cool, dry place.
-
Avoid plastic bags: Natural fibers need to breathe — use a cotton or muslin bag.
-
Keep away from moths: Natural cotton can attract pests; adding lavender sachets or cedar blocks in your storage space can help.
Additional Tips:
-
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately.
-
Refreshing: If the shawl needs freshening up, you can simply air it out in a shaded, breezy spot.
-
Long-Term Care: Gentle care will make your shawl softer and more beautiful with age, developing a lived-in, heritage feel.
