Care Instructions:

Threads of India garments are handmade with delicate craftsmanship, they require a little extra care to ensure their longevity. Please follow these guidelines:

  1. Dry Clean Only – For all quilted or delicate handmade pieces, we recommend dry cleaning to preserve the fabric and maintain the integrity of the natural dyes.
  2. Do Not Machine Wash – Machine washing can damage the delicate fabrics and block prints. Always opt for gentle hand washing when necessary.
  3. Hand Wash Gently – If hand washing is required, use cold water and wash gently to protect the natural fibres.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry – Avoid using a tumble dryer to protect the fabric. Lay your garment flat to dry or hang it in a shaded area to air dry naturally.
  5. Do Not Iron – Our natural fabrics and block prints do not require ironing. Please refrain from ironing to avoid damage.
  6. Warm Iron – If needed, iron your garment on a low, warm setting. Always iron on the reverse side to protect the prints and fabric.

 

Why It’s Worth It:

At Threads of India, our commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability ensures that each garment is not just a piece of clothing but a work of art. By following these care instructions, you are preserving the time and effort put into every stitch, block print, and handwoven detail, allowing the garment to age gracefully and last for years to come.

Thank you for supporting ethical fashion and for choosing a piece that’s not only beautiful but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
