Troubleshooting

Embroidery snagging

Handle with care when wearing and storing. If a snag occurs, attempt to gently pull the fabric back into place from the reverse side. Avoid sharp objects near the embroidery.

Shrinkage after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended cold wash and lay flat to dry instructions. Avoid high heat drying which can cause shrinkage in natural fibers like cotton.

Color fading

Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Store away from prolonged exposure to direct light.
