care :
Authentic, plant-derived indigo dyes give this piece its rich and lively colour. Both vintage and modern indigo dyed fabric is featured in this creation.
Unevenness and complexity are part of its natural character. Unlike synthetic dye, you can expect some indigo to transfer to lighter surfaces (even your skin) so take care during the first 5 washes.
Only wash in cold water by itself. Never spot clean.
length : 18cm
