Hand-dyed Adire and bold Ankara prints are made to be worn and loved. With a little care, they will stay vibrant for many seasons. Always check the care label first, then follow these simple habits.
Washing
- Wash separately for the first few washes, as natural dyes can release some colour.
- Use cold water and a mild detergent.
- Turn the garment inside out to protect the print.
Drying
Dry in the shade rather than in direct sunlight, which can fade indigo and bright prints over time. Avoid wringing; gently press out the water instead.
Ironing and storing
Iron on the reverse side at a medium setting. Store your pieces folded or on padded hangers, away from damp, so the fabric keeps its shape.
Treat it gently, and it will tell its story for years.
