Natural-pigment dye – wash

Charcoal-dyed, pinewood smoke-dyed and bengara-dyed products (B product number at the end) can be hand-washed at home or on the hand-wash course of a washing machine, in addition to being handled at a dry-cleaner. Compared to chemical dyes, the colours of these products fade more easily, so you can enjoy a gradual change in colour if you treat them with care every day.

Although the natural pigments used in charcoal, pine smoke and bengara dyeing are relatively resistant to changes caused by detergents and sunlight, we recommend that you wash them gently as they are prone to colour fading due to friction.

Please wash the garment at home according to the following instructions.

Washing method

1. Dissolve detergent in a basin of lukewarm water (approx. 30°C) and gently hand-wash the product inside out
. In this case, press gently as rubbing together strongly may cause partial fading.

2. Dehydrate in the washing machine. Dehydrate for no more than 2 minutes and use a laundry net.

3. Rinse with lukewarm water and dehydrate to remove any detergent residue. Repeat once or twice.

Remove the garment immediately after dehydration and hang dry in the shade.

Do not use detergents containing bleach or fluorescent agents as they may cause the colours to fade.

When using a washing machine, try washing and dehydrating for a short time. Please be careful not to get detergent directly onto the product in this case. To avoid colour migration, please do not wash with light colours. Please note that we cannot guarantee that all washing machines will work on the hand wash course.
