Your Boem piece needs special care. It has been dyed by hand, therefore irregularities in colour and imperfections will occur, this is the desired effect. Raw linen is slubby and rough in texture and creases with wear, this is a desired effect of linen. This garment will age with wear, after washing the colour will lighten and a vintage stonewashed effect will occur, this is a desired effect and not a fault or defect.

The fringing on the hems are protected by guard stitches and will not continue to fray, however they will become irregular and appear clumped after washing, this is a desired effect. Linen stiffens after washing and line drying, however softens again with wear or after a steam iron.

This garment has been hand dyed, hand dying fades faster than machine dyed fabrics- DO NOT LEAVE IN SUNLIGHT AT ANY TIME. If you look after your Boem garment as instructed, it will last and wear beautifully.
