General Care Guide

Our products are mainly hand-woven with fabrics ranging in a variety of hand-spun cotton and linen. The process of weaving and designing through threadworm is entirely manual which is why you will find variations in the fabric. These irregularities are not necessarily defects but are an integral characteristic of the handloom. Interestingly, these spectacular fabrics are created with caring human hands with utmost patience, warmth, love and hope. Every handloom piece has a pattern that is unique in itself. Fascinating as it sounds, each hand woven thread of ours truly has a story to tell!
