Wash & Care Instructions
Read Manufacturer Guidance
Always check specific care labels—they may recommend dry clean only
Gentle Hand-Wash
Pre-soak in cold water (5–15 min) with rock salt to lock colors .
Use mild detergent or liquid shampoo in lukewarm water; rinse thoroughly .
Avoid agitation, wringing, or rubbing directly on embroidery—be gentle.
Drying
Lay flat or hang to dry in shade; avoid direct sun to prevent fading
Don’t twist or squeeze—linen is strong but can tear when wet
Ironing
Iron when slightly damp on medium heat; use a cotton pressing cloth and iron inside out to protect embroidery
Avoid starching to maintain linen’s natural softness
Stain Treatment
Act fast: blot spills, pre-treat with baking soda or mild enzyme cleaner
For oil stains, use talcum or cornstarch; for color runs, soak in salt/vinegar.
Storage
Store in muslin/cotton bags—avoid plastic to let fabric breathe and prevent mildew
Refold periodically to prevent stress along folding lines
Keep in a cool, dry place with nep/charcoal/moisture absorbers.
Styling Tips
Blouse Pairing
Solid silk or cotton blouses in complementary or contrasting shades elevate the embroidery. For pastel linen, metallic-thread blouses add glam; for richly embroidered, keep blouses minimal.
Jewelry
Daytime: choose dainty pearls, oxidized silver, or small studs.
Festive events: add statement jewelry—kundan choker or chunky silver earrings complement intricate embroidery.
Draping Styles
Traditional Nivi drape for office or semi-formal looks.
Modern or Bengali drapes highlight the embroidery on pallu.
Front pallu or belt your saree (with a chic waist belt) for a contemporary style.
Footwear
Pair with kolhapuri sandals, block heels, or sleek mules for comfort and elegance.
Seasonal Flexibility
Linen breathes well in the heat, and layers (like a shawl or light blazer) make it year‑round ready
