Dry clean only.
Some of our sarees/fabrics use natural dyes which may rub off / bleed initially, though the colors will settle in after a couple of dry washes.
Most of our sarees are handwoven and there might be slight weaving irregularities expected as part of the weaving process. These imperfections add to the unique charm of the saree.
