Questions about our product
100% Cotton, Beeswax and Water based fabric Dyes. These are handmade and hand painted and are different to Batiks produced under large scale production. The care instructions are therefore different.
Each piece comes ready to hang. Light wood is on the top and bottom of the piece, string is attached to the top piece of wood on each side.
No, Batik fabric may bleed when in contact with water. For any blemishes, sponge off with a minimum amount of water, remember fabric bleed is irreversible.
Dust can be brushed off lightly with a dry brush.
Place the Batik between 2 pieces of material or unprinted paper to avoid direct contact from the heat of the iron to the batik, Iron maximum on a warm setting with no steam.
Do not hang the Batik in direct sunlight as colour fading may occur over time.
As wax is used in the Batik process, do not hang the fabric over a radiator, colour fading would occur over time.
Store the textile flat and cover it with acid free paper to protect the colour. Rolling the fabric is also a good way to avoid damage but ensure no creases occur when rolling. Avoid folding the fabric because any fabric kept folded for a long time will develop a permanent crease, which is hard to remove, and can cause the dyes to migrate.
As all products are handmade, colours may differ slightly in each piece, but on the whole, each piece will be very similar to the shop product image.
1-2cm difference is also possible in the finished size, larger or smaller as each fabric piece is hand cut and hand sewn.
