Other questions :

What is a pH neutral soap?

pH neutral soap aka mild soap or delicate detergent.
Majority of natural dyes are sensitive to pH (acids and alkaline) that changes the color slightly or more.

No bleach? & What about dry-clean?

Bleach is nasty. On top of harming ourselves, our animal friends and naturally dyed fabrics, bleach can seriously impact the environment and our ecosystem.

We don’t recommend dry-clean as they use harsh chemicals in the process. The whole process is not very planet friendly and can possibly destroy natural dyes.

Be kind to the garment, the planet and yourself.
Appreciate the aging process.
Reuse our cotton garment bag to protect the garments and recycle the shipping box.
