CARE: To maintain the quality of the intricate work for years, we recommend handwashing after 2-3 wears (or when necessary) and air drying. To remove odors, we recommend laying out in the sun or running a steamer on a delicate cycle. Iron only if extremely necessary on low. Otherwise, lay flat and smooth with your hands while damp to prevent wrinkles.
