Caring for your Kaftan


How do I best care for my new Kaaftan?

The majority of our clothing is made from Rayon as it is lightweight, breathable and drapes well. If you follow the directions on the label for garment care it will ensure you get the most wear from your new Kaaftan.

We highly recommend hand washing to prolong the life of your clothing.

  • Use cold water and a mild detergent, be gentle and never use hot water as it can shrink your items of clothing.

The best way to dry Rayon clothing is flat drying or line drying, never twist or wring the fabric. Certain types of Rayon wrinkle more easily but gently hanging to dry can minimise wrinkles and the need to iron. 

  • Always iron on a low heat setting from the inside as this helps reduce excess shine.

An excellent way to remove wrinkles from Rayon in a gentle way is to use a hand held garment steamer.

HAND WASH

  • Gently rinse well by hand in cool water and lay flat to dry without delay, away from direct sunlight.

MACHINE WASH

  • We highly suggest if washing in your machine use cold water on a gentle machine cycle and drip dry. 
Wash your Kaaftan as normal but do not use the spin cycle.
  • Remove from the water/machine and gently squeeze out any excess water.
  • Hang on a hanger or line dry and gently stretch out the fabric.
    Please do not put your Kaaftan in the  dryer as this will result in your garment shrinking
