Clothing maintenance

To ensure the longevity and quality of your clothing, we recommend the following care guidelines:  

- Wash all items to remove packing wrinkles and any residual dust or smell from sewing.  

- All our clothing is made from authentic African 100% cotton fabric.  

- Hand-wash in cold water with gentle, non-bleach soap.  

- Use a small amount of fabric softener if desired.  

- Wash each item separately to prevent color bleeding and maintain vibrant hues.  

- Avoid soaking, bleaching, or tumble drying.  

- Hang items on a hanger to dry. Gently pull seams (collars, hems, cuffs) while drying to reduce wrinkles and make ironing easier.  

- For ironing, use a low temperature and iron from the reverse side. For the best results, steam while hanging.  

- Machine washing is not recommended, as it may cause shrinkage and faster fading. If necessary, use only as a last resort.  

- Some color may bleed into the washing water; this is normal and does not affect the fabric's vibrancy.
