Care Instructions

Almost all our products are 100% cotton. A few are cotton blends, with the balance being another type of easy-care fiber. Our fabrics wash well and can be washed in a washing machine.

When washing for the first time, wash each garment separately on a gentle cycle, on a full load setting, using cold water and a mild detergent.

Garments are pre-shrunk. Our hand-printed and hand tie-dyed fabrics have been washed, sometimes multiple times, as part of the printing process. The fabric will not shrink in a cold water wash.

WASHING:

  • Wash separately, gentle cycle
  • Cold water with a mild detergent
  • No bleach or bleach alternatives

DRYING:

  • Do not dry in a dryer
  • Line dry out of direct sun
  • Ironing is not necessary for a natural cotton look

Handcrafted clothing made with natural dyes and hand block printing requires gentle care to preserve its beauty. Follow these simple guidelines above for washing, drying, and storing your MarketPlace: Handwork of India clothes so they remain vibrant and last for years.
