Product Care

SHIBORI NEPAL products are handcrafted using the finest natural fibers available in Nepal by traditional talented local craftsmen and women. The subtle variations in colour, texture and finish are a signature of the human hand, making the product unique to its owner. Please celebrate the authenticity of hand-made through slight variations in each product.

Creating each product is a lengthy process from hand spinning, hand-dying, weaving, hand printing and embroidery, each with its own methods rooted in the crafts-based traditions. We use commercial dyes with as less chemical processing, hence minimizing our impact on the environment while striving for the best practices.

Each product has a separate care section, with instructions to follow.

LINENS and COTTONS:
  • 1. The hand-dyed and hand-printed items need to be lightly hand-washed separately in cold water.
  • 2. Keep your zippers and hooks closed to avoid snagging other items in the wash
  • 3. Dry in cool place, without direct sun light for drying.
  • 4. IRON with steam for better results or use spray bottle to slightly dampen the clothing.
