- Returned items must be unused and unwashed; return shipping is on the customer.
- Slight variations are part of the beauty of handcrafted work - not defects.
About care
- Wash separately in cold water with mild or no detergent. Dry in the shade and avoid bleach or tumble dryers.
- Our Khadi is pre-shrunk; in some instances, it may shrink by 3%.
- With every wash, due to de-starching, Khadi gets softer and better.
- Each Khadi piece is spun and woven in Karnataka—unique in texture, rich in heritage, and light on the planet.
- Slight fading and colour variation may occur; that’s the charm of natural dyes and hand processes.
About sizes
- Size charts on product pages reflect the actual garment dimensions and not body measurements.
- Compare our chart with a blouse or garment from your wardrobe that fits you comfortably, and you will find a match.
- Our size chart is unique and won't reflect UK or US sizing.
- Our blouses and garments are best worn loose.
