Troubleshooting
Bead embellishments snagging
Handle with extreme care. Avoid rough surfaces and other jewelry that could catch on the beads. If a bead loosens, consult a professional tailor for repair.
Crinkle fabric losing texture
Follow the recommended professional dry cleaning instructions. Avoid harsh washing or machine drying, which can flatten the crinkle effect.
