Products & Care
What is the significance of Ikat?
Ikat is a highly intricate and labor-intensive dyeing and weaving technique. Unlike other methods where the design is woven into finished cloth, Ikat involves tie-dyeing the individual warp and/or weft threads before they are woven. This precise process creates the characteristic blurry or feathered patterns that are a unique and beautiful hallmark of Ikat fabrics.
What makes a Mercerized Cotton dupatta special?
Mercerized cotton is a type of cotton yarn that has been treated to enhance its physical properties. This treatment gives the fabric a beautiful silky luster, increases its strength, and allows it to absorb dye more deeply, resulting in exceptionally vibrant colors that last longer. Our mercerized cotton dupattas offer the breathability and comfort of cotton with the luxurious sheen of silk.
How should I care for my Vastra Vedha handloom products?
To ensure the longevity of your handcrafted textiles, we recommend dry cleaning for the first two washes. This helps to set the colors and preserve the fabric’s integrity. For subsequent washes, gently hand wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, wringing the fabric, and drying in direct sunlight, as this can cause colors to fade
