Product Care

Every piece from Sivarna is handmade with care, heritage, and intention. To preserve the beauty and life of your garment, we recommend the following care guidelines.








Garment Care:

Handwoven / Blended Fabrics

  • Dry clean only, preferably with eco-friendly dry cleaners.

  • Store in breathable cotton bags, avoid plastic covers.

  • Do not hang heavy handwoven jackets fold with acid-free tissue.

Raw Silk, Brocade, Chanderi, Banarasi

  • Never machine wash.

  • Avoid direct sunlight for long durations.

  • Iron on low heat from the reverse side using a muslin cloth.

Linen & Cotton

  • hand wash or gentle machine.

  • Mild detergent only.

  • Air dry flat, avoid wringing or twisting.


Natural Dyes

  • Some color may bleed, it’s natural.

  • Wash gently, avoid soaking.

  • Use pH-neutral, non-bleach detergent.



Footwear / Chappals Care:

  • Keep away from moisture. If wet, dry in shade.

  • Use leather balm or polish occasionally.

  • Store with a shoe tree or cloth stuffing.

Accessories & Jewelry Care:

  • Keep away from perfumes, hairsprays, and water.

  • Store in soft pouches provided.

  • Polish with a soft cloth, avoid chemical cleaners.


What to Avoid:

Overwashing

Frequent washing weakens natural fibers and fades artisanal dyes. Wash only when necessary, and always follow the recommended method.

Machine Washing Delicates

Do not machine wash silk, wool, handwoven, or embellished garments. These require gentle hand care or dry cleaning.

Bleach or Harsh Detergents

Avoid bleach, stain removers, and strong chemical detergents. They break down fibers and damage fabric finishes.

Wringing or Twisting

Twisting garments after wash distorts their shape. Instead, press gently between towels to remove excess water.

Hanging Heavy Pieces

Heavy jackets or knitwear should not be hung on narrow hangers — this causes stretching. Use wide wooden hangers or store flat.

Sunlight & Humidity

Direct sunlight fades natural dyes. Humidity attracts mold and weakens fabric integrity. Store in a cool, dry place.

Storing in Plastic

Avoid plastic covers. They trap moisture and suffocate the fabric. Use breathable cotton garment bags instead.

Ironing Directly on Fabric

Heat can damage embroidery, prints, and natural textures. Always iron inside-out or with a pressing cloth.

Perfume or Deodorant on Garment

Spraying perfume or deodorant directly can leave stains and chemical burns on delicate fabrics.

DIY Cleaning of Stains

Never rub stains or apply home remedies. Consult a professional cleaner familiar with fine garments.
