Colour: Rust brown, cream and small areas of light turquoise.
Care: Hand wash separately in cold water with a delicates detergent. Due to the hand dyed and printed nature of each pieces, colours may run slightly for the first few washes - don’t be alarmed if this happens. Always undo buttons before washing.
Drip dry and hang or lay flat out of direct sunlight. If needed iron on a low steam setting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Find more detailed care instructions here.
From the Maker: If you’re going to print something, print it onto silk. That was my first thought. Created from an ethos of slow, mindful design, not confined by commercial trends but led by the soul. Silk is for timeless treasures not throwaway fads and I wanted to create less but better; limited edition pieces that are not so much about how we look, much more about how we feel. Creating belongings that inspire you to treasure them forever. For anyone in pursuit of less, and yet so much more, these are for you.
