Care
To preserve the beauty and durability of your handloom-woven blouse:
- Hand wash in cold water (max. 30°C) with mild detergent, free of bleach.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry — vibrations and high temperatures can damage the handwoven fabric and embroidery.
- Air dry naturally, laid flat in the shade, to prevent fading and distortion.
- Iron on the reverse side, at medium temperature, preferably using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
- Store in a dry, airy place, preferably folded rather than hung, to protect traditional seams.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, perfume, or deodorant directly on the fabric to prevent stains and discoloration.
This piece is more than a garment — it is a work of textile art. Caring for it properly will extend its life and keep the craft alive for generations to come.

STYLING ADVICE & SIZE GUIDE
Delicate needlework and stitches rooted in centuries-old techniques elevate each piece into a work of wearable art. Far beyond ornament, these details embody the virtuosity of artisans who have inherited — and perfected — the ancestral language of the needle with effortless grace and confidence.
The construction is as considered as the embroidery. Cut in a T-shape, the blouse widens naturally toward the hem, creating volume that can be bloused and gathered at the waist for a sculpted, couture-like silhouette. The sleeves — generously wide and softly structured — invite the same approach: adjusted via the artisanal drawstring, they can be drawn in or released to create an architecture that is at once diaphanous and deliberate.
We recommend sizing up. The more voluminous the sleeve, the greater the interplay between fabric and drawstring — allowing you to compose the silhouette as you see fit, fluid or gathered, open or refined. This is not merely a blouse; it is a canvas.
Wear it oversized, bloused at the hem, sleeves left to drift. Let the drawstring do the rest.
No two pieces are identical. Minor variations in embroidery are the mark of authentic handcraft — and the signature of the artisan who made it.
